Lulla-good-bye

I was in the hospital with her for the night. Together we shared the worst night of our lives.

I beg and plead

"God, why not me?"

As I think of what I've seen.

I remember the time I spent with you.

Thinking "baby girl, what can I do?"

All I wanted was to see you calm

So I turned on your toy

And it played you a song.

A tune that lulled you off to sleep.

A sleep I wish was not so deep.

The doctors tried to wake you.

Oh memory, I cannot erase you.

You've bruised and battered me since the beginning.

But this scar is the deepest, 

And will not soon be healing.
