His Poem
Sing me a lullaby to send me off to sleep tonight
make me feel like an innocent again
have heart and faith in me for I will show,
you just how I feel.
Love is in my eyes and pouring out for you
shining wonderful in the dark. The pillow
under my head like the hand of an owner
on a dog’s head, reassuring and kind. Your voice
like a sweet symphony to my ears makes
me wonder what we have here.
Cleanliness a thing of the past as the
sounds that issue through the night
reach the ears of unsuspecting victims, catching
them off guard, having them stop and
stare for a moment.
A heart unlike any other you say I have,
making me believe for a split second you
are mine. A touch of air, cold breeze
cools my feverish skin. Bite marks in
my finger from the silence held in.
Cotton candy won’t do your sweetness justice,
Adonis your loving skill. I was yours for
a night. Now I’m a pathetic lovesick
girl that has no heart to give because
you are still in possession of it.
So sing me a lullaby tonight
Send me off to a dream so bright and true
One that involves me getting over you.
A dream that takes my heart back
A dream that reminds what I still have
in life; a life that I don’t want without you.
Your eyes so blue, like the sky and ocean
have given them hue.
Hair so thick and chestnut brown, curls
around a soft finger just so.
A laugh and smile so genuine and warm
Towering over me, with nothing but
kindness in your demeanor.
Your heart had other agendas for me,
and you followed them through to the tee.
I wish that from your clutches I could flee
but alas I cannot and must now
feel as though I don’t exist to you
because you have moved and I have not.
I feel you should know that
you are the reason my sky is so blue
my grass it’s beauteous green,
the sparrow’s song inevitably sweet,
my heart you shall keep
The hole inside my chest is one
that can never be fixed
I mise well be an old crone
never married or child bearer
because try as I might I will
never rid my self of you.
So sing me a lullaby tonight
send me dreaming with absolute delight
I’ll find myself delusional and pretending
but I’ll be happy even if it’s hollow
I will never hold you it’s true but at least I will always have my memory
of kissing you.
Memories, memories, the only thing that
keeps me sane. How we first met,
unconventional at best, brutal and mean
I was only because I couldn’t believe
I had already fallen in love with you.
I promise this is just a song of tears
and ramblings but I’ll go back on
my word because I love you and that
will always be true. Find me out if
you will but for the sake of the
melody, don’t double cross me. I love
you that’s still true, but the
heart you took, you broke and though
I shouldn’t want it back, I do.
Like a guitar with a broken string
a violin that has a bow that won’t sing;
I need the broken heart so the
new you can try to mend it.
Though it won’t be perfect it will do.
But, oh, I can’t get over you,
You with the smirk and those
damn eyes so blue. I’m angry at
my state of mind, at the way I
throw myself around with the thought
of you.
My heart is tightly affixed to your person
like a sword cover to warrior, a
leech to its’ donor. You wear it like
Medal or wedding ring upon a
blushing bride’s finger. I was a prize
to be won but of course not a
girl to love or cherish just another
trophy upon your shelf.
You can’t do any wrong, always right
a God to this lowly pauper. I worship
the ground you walk on, the air you
breath. I want so bad to be yours
and yours alone, why can’t I?
Love me, oh Adonis of my time
show m the wonders of making it.
Find it in your heart to love me
the way I love you. Sing me a lullaby
to send me off to dream tonight, make
everything right in my mind, then
start all over in the morning,
again.
