Orpheus And Eurydice

Are we out yet love?

You have been through hell. I know;

I came after you.

Please break this dreadful silence.

I need to know you’re still there.

We are not out, love,

But soon. Can’t you see that light?

So long in silence,

There is yet a song in me

Of us. Please wait, wait for me.
