VERSE | SIT WITH ME

Sit with me today my love 
We don’t have to talk
I just want to know you’re here
So I can feel your warmth

The day’s been difficult and sad
My body throbs with pain that’s new
There are little jagged holes
In my desolate heart now too

I thought that I would go to bed
Lie with my grief a while
But that kind of lonesomeness
In its visceral rank and file

Is not what my aching heart yearns for
While in its darkened nook it weeps
So sit with me for a bit my love
Let your tenderness cloak me.

VERSE | THINKING OF YOU

Hold my hand when you feel lost
I’m no prophet, no celestial guide
But I can keep your hand in mine
Sit with you by your side

Hold my hand when hope has dimmed
I can’t move mountains nor the seas
But I can be with you a while
For you to feel some peace

Hold my hand when your tread is heavy
I’m not Atlas, I can’t displace
The burden off your weary shoulders
But I can carry it with you a pace

Hold my hand when life is joyless
I can’t delight you nor beguile
But I can try to ease your ache
Give your face a little smile

Hold my hand and let me try
To soothe your heavy heart a bit
Life’s ups and downs will keep going round
But when you want, with you I’ll sit
