I sit waiting
staring at the tubes keeping you alive
Listening to the sound of the machine
Watching the way your chest rises and falls
in an unnatural way
I sit and I stare
Not knowing if this is real
Is this a nightmare?
Why can I not wake up?
Everything was a blur
I sit
Thinking of the night before
I had just spoken to you
you told me you loved me
Called me your dear little sister
And held me dearly
So I sit waiting for you to wake up
To tell me everything will be ok
I sit waiting for you to open your eyes
I sit knowing you are no longer here
Knowing you no longer can hear my cry
In a deep slumber
Awaiting for the day you hear the call
And I sit waiting
Anxious to know if you will be awakened
Anxious to tell you everything
Anxiously awaiting your return.
I sit waiting
