A Lullaby To Help Her Stay

When you want to hang on to what is so sweet... because, without them, you feel as if you face defeat. And so you beg and plea for the spark once more, swear fealty and spurs of anger at denial...

A teary eye grudged into face,

That lingered with sadness and began to race,

As solid droplets skewered down his skin,

To shame his faith and brew with sin.

For it not of fitting character to him,

When his status fell short with such aching limb,

Forced upon midnight's distant lullaby,

That shook with fear and thought to mollify,

An apology that voiced its trial,

Swept with the gloom of alleged denial -

So that he turn't to the face of a well known God

In memoric outcry of the vast esplanade,

To which he'd revisited the softest of memory,

That faded with time, and to her, now shimmery.

So, he'd faced upon a distant life,

That pitted his stomach and sickened with strife,

Before the glisten of his dawning tear,

Stapled forth with its reigning leer,

Admittance of vows that traced with guilt,

The foundation of which his mind was built,

A mock of betrayal to that of dignity,

Of a loss so steep that it shed malignity,

And forced a plea of archaic misdeed,

That bred a demand of desperate accede,

For one more moment, the last of chance,

To partake upon a memory of beloved dance,

So that maybe he steal upon her heart once more,

Or toil to delirium as static of love fleet out his door.

Author's Note

Written just before bed...

A good song to listen as you read along to this is "Midtro - Lullaby", or of course the title itself (inspired by both songs!)

Lossing a love this big
It's so endearing how well you placed it ?

I find such peace in your words though they speak of loss
Well done

Many of us can relate to the theme and emotion of this write, Cynical.

Loss of love for whatever reasons always hits like a sledgehammer to the chest. And in such circumstances we do all we can to hold on to the love we have.

I enjoyed the flow of this one. And your rhyme scheme is mostly on point throughout, with smart use of vocabulary above what most can manage.

Nice work.
