Sing me a lullaby baby
Before I go to sleep
To drive the nightmares away
And my demons, who tend to creep

Sing me a lullaby baby
Before you say goodnight
So maybe I'll remember
That everything's alright

Sing me a lullaby baby
Please, before you go
This is a time I desperately need
Your love and strength to show

Sing me a lullaby baby
To remind me that you're there
Even when I look around
And see the room is bare

Sing me a lullaby baby
To try and keep me strong
For the times I'm down and out
Wishing to do something wrong

Sing me a lullaby baby
So I know I'm in your thoughts
Because I spent all this time waiting
On promises you forgot

Sing me a lullaby baby
To put a smile on my face
When the whole world has me crying
Because I just can't find my place

Sing me a lullaby baby
That's all I have to ask
Give comfort to this broken girl
Behind her perfect mask
Another poem I felt I needed to write

This is directed at a specific person in my life who I wish would read this poem, but I doubt that he will.
