Saturday Vigil

I believe

That when you leave

I piece of me goes with you

I don’t know if that’s true

But that’s what I believe

So when you leave

Please know

That where-ever you go

A piece of my heart goes out to you

A piece of my heart goes out to you.

 

And I light a candle

For you, my angel

And keep my vigil

And wait for a miracle.

 

Your return

Your return

I wait, I burn

I toss and turn.

 

I’ll wait until you come home

Dark and alone

I’ll wait night and day

In this chair I will stay.

 

Until you come back

I will never truly be back

Because you are me

This I see

When I look at something

Anything.

 

Please come home.
