How did they feel
when they woke on Saturday morning
those who deserted him
those who ran at the sign of trouble
those who saw him breathe his last

was there guilt?
I wish I had stayed awake with him
I wish I had done something
anything

confusion?
but those miracles
but those things he said
but …

pain?
I miss him
I can still hear his voice
It hurts so much

anger?
why has this happened?
what have they done?
they’ll wish they hadn’t

tears?
of unbelief
of sorry
of pain

a sense of betrayal or being conned?
But he said he was the Messiah
but now?
well now he is dead!!
he can’t have been who he claimed
he can’t have been the answer
he was wrong
I was wrong

it’s all over now
the proof is there
the dead body of Jesus lies in that tomb.
