lullaby

close those eyes

you won't miss a thing

its already happened

please don't check the sink

sing yourself

a murmured lullaby

have no fear

it was another life

and when the ravens nest

and it's gone quiet

your hummed cries

will too go silent

as it fades

you may hear your cries

youre all alone, just singing

yourself to sleep tonight

a haunting melody is the beat to this piece...And this poem speaks of such intense loneliness. No one near to hear your solemn cries for help. Much like it was for Sylvia Plath...even those who heard were afraid to listen.
