Oh dead child
Sing me a lullaby
Something that will tell of all that I've endured
Of all the horrors I have seen
And all the places I have been
Tell me a tale of hope and dreams
Something to ease my heart and soul
Give me something to hold onto
For if not that, I will have nothing more
Oh haunting melody
So vivid and bittersweet
Flow through me and paint a picture
Of who I should have been
Not of who I've become
Show me the brighter things
To reveal my shadows
Chase them into the abyss
So I may bathe in the light
Oh sweet memories
Some of which I'd rather forget
I remember you all so well
Like I'm experiencing it all again
Every feeling, taste, and smell
Help me to recover
Save me from my grief
Relieve my pain
Save me... from myself
Author notes
It seems my past is chasing me again. A reoccurring nightmare. Events that I wish I could prevent just keep repeating...
I don't know how much I can take. I'll hope for a better future, but there's not much left of me to care. I wish things could have been different, but I can't do anything about it now. All I can do now is try to endure it and try not to look back.
