sing me to sleep

He used to sing to me...
I laid in bed as his soft voice lulled me to sleep
It worked each time
But since hes gone from my life, no one sings to me
And I miss it
Sing me a lullaby, tell me you love me even if you have to lie
I want to feel your strong arms around me as I sleep
Kiss me please, I beg you
I cant be left on my own, not anymore
Subside my fears
Sing a song of protecting me, from the monsters in my mind
Those monsters consume me, overwhelm me
Poison to my brain that wants to cause me pain
My heart is torn apart, so can you hold it together in your hands?
Just this one night...
So baby sing me to sleep, I want to fall deep
And dream of you and me, never to wake
Eternal slumber, resting in peace
My heart rests in pieces
Rock me gently, hush my cries
Dry the tears from this reddened face
Lullaby and goodnight

    oooh...this is divine! Sounds like it should be put to music. I love the longing the comes through your words, the love, the need, the hurt. I especially love the imagery -
    "Those monsters consume me, overwhelm me
    Poison to my brain that wants to cause me pain
    My heart is torn apart, so can you hold it together in your hands?"

    I like this

    It is more a bounch of thoughts than a poem...BUT they flow...really naturally which makes this piece great. So many lines in this touch my heart;

    "My heart is torn apart, so can you hold it together in your hands?
    Just this one night..."

    I know she has it in her hands...and sometimes she wishes she didn't...and I know this 'one night'...maybe it might happen...where we can just sleep...a dream for us both. Nothing is more soothing than the voice of the person you love...I'd kill to hear it...

    Nicely written poem...the content of your mind is all let out here...only thing lacking is the structure; but sometimes you don't care for it because this would be the lines in the most natural of forms. You've touched me yet again. 8/10!
