Patience, Penelope

Penelope…
You are far away on a grey and distant shore.
My thoughts bend.
I would kneel at your ankles to worship your heavenly force.
For you’re my queen and a king is meant to lie by his queen’s side.
Patience, Penelope.
I am coming home, I will travel over waves.
I will persevere and face the very gods above
just to give you all of my love.
Your love is a hurt I love.
I miss you so it’s turning me into a wreck.
Do you still wear shackles and seashells around your slender neck?
My love, this war has aged me half to death.
I wish to see you now with silver creeping into your temples.
See the way your cheeks would dimple.
The lust i feel for you right now is indescribable.
My love, I wish to see you and stare.
And I would sing this song for you my love.
Your love is a hurt I love.
I would sing this song for you my love.
Your love is a hurt I love.
For you, I’d face the gods.
I would weather any storm.
I would leave behind a thousand broken hearts
in my search for home.
I would suffer and persevere, I would choke back my tears,
Just to be true, just to see you.
Penelope, my heart is broken, you’ve given me the blues.
There are so many paths in this life that I could take but only one I would chose.
My aching heart is broken but I drag it along.
Just to be true, to see you, and reach our seashore home.
Reach our seashore home.
Penelope…
I am coming home to you, though it might take a day or two.
I am coming home to you, though it might take a week or two.
I am coming home to you, though it might take a lifetime or two.
Patience…
