I sit by your side, holding your hand
Waiting, waiting
Waiting for what I don’t know
For you to go or to stay
I watch your eyebrows for any hint of movement
Or recognition
I watch your breath
To see if you are still here

Eli, Eli, lamach sabachthani
If it be Thy will, let this cup pass from me

My Beloved
Do not leave me
Stay with me a little longer
My heart cries out for your warmth
Your tenderness
Your loving arms
Do not leave me to walk in eternal darkness

I sit still and quiet
To scared to move
To scared to breath
In case the golden thread is broken
And you move away from me

Give me a sign
Just a small flutter
So that I know
That you know I am here
Holding your hand
Holding you close to my heart
That you have not forgotten

I am not the evil one
I am loving
Caring
Always by your side
The only one with you
The only one holding your hand
The only one who cares whether you go

You cannot leave me
On my own
To wander in this blackness

****

I continue to sit in the twilight
Quiet surrounds me
Waiting patiently
For the moment
When you go

In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti
