Waiting In Vain

For a long time I  have waited 
Anxious and dispirited 
For you to come back to me  
How much longer shall I wait?
How long shall my patience be tested?
How long shall it take to rekindle a love gone cold?
Find it in your heart of gold to forgive 
Let go of every grievance 
Let go of  every pain of the past
To err is human weakness
To forgive is divine 
Life is too short to be wasted on
Grievances and mundane things
Whenever I look into your eyes
I  see a heart burning with desire
To love and be loved
I see a soul craving to be smothered 
By genuine affection 
Come back to me my darling 
Let us take back
Our lost paradise 
From the altar of denial
