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.
