Sitting One

Every  time I look at you, every time I cry.
Every time I see inside you  each time I hear you sigh
It hurts me so deep to know your pain 
It hurts me to bad to play this game
I see into you and I love the motion that you create
I feel you next to me and I am taken to another place
Your eyes are like shimmering stars in the day
I cry to death , to realize that I know the hidden way
I will be your sitting one

Playing this game this circle of pain
See you hurt See me cry
This isn’t a dream and this isn’t a story
One feels as if they died
Take me into your world and embrace my every being
I am here for you to take me out, take me and make me you
I will wait for you are time will come
I am your sitting one

In this place and time with you I am eternally here for you
I will close my eyes and let you be,
I am here but you are free
Anything that I can give, I just want you to live
You have your life so I’ll have mine
We’ll have each other over time
I’m staying here, its what I need
But I can not watch you bleed
I need to be your sitting one

Do what you need and I’ll do for you 
My love is so thick My heart is so small
I am your living creature now
I will bathe in your every desire
This is all because of you 
I will die to do anything for you
For you to smile and laugh and live
What part do you want because I can give

You are my everything and my everything is yours
So here I am to help you out,  I will do any thing for you
I sit in a room that turns black and cold, but you are near
I look at wall that’s blank and stone but you are near
I’m holding on for you, be as I have no fear

If I need you , you will come, 
I try to tell them you are my one
I am forever holding you
Please le me be your sitting one.
