When you did not return, I grew heart-sick and weary.

Your absence was killing me. Now you are back,

Your coming suffices. Naught more do I lack.

Jeremiah

Through the streets did I wander, my heart turned to stone.

Your forgiveness now craving, I fain would atone.

The Mother

Nightly I dreamed your dreams,

As I lay in the empty house,

Alone and forsaken.
