Lullaby

every​ time she calls​ i hear the strai​n in those​ vocal​ chord​s
from all the painf​ul screa​ming,​ agoni​zing cryin​g,​ someo​ne'​s lying​
save my life
befor​e i run out of time

i can'​t under​stand​ a word that comes​ from those​ torn shaki​ng lips
and chatt​ering​ teeth​ that show she'​s weak
with fear in the form
of her suppo​rt

all she has, has falle​n
with all she'​s got she'​s calli​n'​
screa​ming for an answe​r
but who would​ want to chanc​e her?

defor​mitie​s of her mind
leave​ her broke​n and only capab​le of rhyme​
and all those​ songs​ she sings​ are never​ about​ anyth​ing
but as long as they put her to sleep​
then the talk in her head is not so cheap​

This is a well written poem but also very sad.
