lullaby

undisclosed baring of sadness
flying softly and slowly above city lights
dreams and hopes elude the sadness of the fights
we constantly encase in our hearts
and as we sink deeper, the deep engulfs
the little pieces that we break our souls into
hold yourself tight in the hollowness of nights
winds will channel all your sighs
and trees will grow from the seeds of your brightly lit eyes
sing your lullabies to all the hurting children that you killed
while you forgot to laugh
promise to love great moments
as puny and fleeting as they are
promise to be tough
under these gray shades of skies
change your color pallet while you try to sleep
and chant the songs that help you take another leap
of faith
into this life
