Sing Me a Lullaby

I want to stomp my feet and throw things,

Smash the world to smithereens,

The world that took you away from me

So unforgivingly.


I don't have the strength

To kick and scream it out,

But my heart is bursting

Leaving me twisted inside out.


My tears don't seem to run dry,

And I know that when they do

I'll have entered a new phase,

A new ugly place,

Where no one can see the gaping hole,

Or understand what's missing.


Tonight, I'll bring you with me

Into my dreams, 

So my tears can rest,

And my heavy chest,

Can have a break till morning.
