Rockabye baby
drift into sleep
drift into a world
of dreams in the deep
As the moonlight shines
and the stars appear
sleep well my baby
let your fears disappear
As your droopy eyes close
once and for all
you will hear from above
Heaven giving you a call
Sleep tight my baby
don’t make even a sound
as your body becomes cold
fall to the ground
Rockabye baby,
this is my song
I sing you to sleep
no matter how long
Rockabye baby
your dreams will come true
soon you will be gone
from all that you knew
Sleep well my baby
once and for all…
Author notes
If you didn't understand it, I can lay it out for you. If you could help me revise it, it would be greatly appreciated. I am saying to someone I care about that if they just fall asleep and give up, everything will be forgotten, and they can finally rest peacefully in death. I am trying to persuade them to close their eyes and fall asleep...

I enjoyed the well written piece but became confused at your AN. Guess it doesn't matter if I understand or not. The beauty of poetry is that every reader can take something all their own away from a read. I think your piece was well done.
