Goodbye Lullaby


Empty bed. 

Pounding head.

Shrinking room. 

Open tomb. 

 

Acid words. 

Flightless birds. 

Searing burn.

No return. 

 

Please don’t go. 

I don’t know. 

What I’ll do.

Without you. 

 

Juggling act. 

Loss of tact.

Endless tears.

Creeping fears. 

 

Wipe the slate. 

Believe fate. 

Count to ten.

Start again.
