Sing Me To Sleep

Four years ago today, the light fled from his face.

There's whispers all around
Everybody knows
But they don't talk about it
She's fading more with
Every minute that goes by
Its only been two days since he died

And she lays in her bed
And in the dark she cries

Sing me to sleep
While I quietly drown in my memories
Just wrap your arms around me
So maybe I won't feel so alone
I know you'll haunt my dreams
So if I've gone crazy then its no surprise
So please, don't leave, just
Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep

Its quiet all around
Everybody knew
But they've forgot about it
She's somewhere between disappearing
And returning to fully alive
Its already been four years
Since he died

She lays in her bed
And in the dark he cries

Sing me to sleep
While I quietly drown in our memories
Just wrap your arms around me
So maybe I can feel you one last time
I know I'll haunt your dreams
And you'll go crazy so its no surprise
So my love find peace
As I leave, just
Sing me to sleep
As I leave, sing me to sleep.

That was incredibly beautiful. I feel like crying now.

It was an emotional read for me. I feel sorry for your loss but at the same time, I have a message for you from him. Don't stop or dont let you down because that is something bothers him too. Rather keep him in your eyes & dream to fly high. So that you may even touch his face someday..

Nice Poem!

Oh man... This struck a chord with me. You evolved the pain of loss and showed that time never erased all of the pain. It follows her around like a shadow. This poem made me feel something. This is very well done.

I'm glad you liked it. I lost my best friend four years ago, and the first version of this I wrote last year was the first time I felt like I had captured my feelings about it.
Thank you so much for your review, your kind words meant a lot.
