Stay with me,
even when mountains fall,
and the sky turns red
and nothing makes sense
any more in the delusion
that is the world.

Stay, even if you must go,
and meet the maker that
you never believed.

Stay and be lover still,
in the grayness,
in the memories of
what was once upon
this time of you and me.

Hold me now
in the thin light between
night and day,
so I will not fall,
for I am weak,
I am nothing without
the you I know.

Stay here with me
and let me see your
shadow on the wall.
