Lulling Byes
so sing me to sleep
where this day I will die
soothe me like a mother
your sweet last lullaby
kiss me with care
it’s ok for us to cry
not everything is perfect dear
much less you, far less I
so bury me in roses
pearls, teeth, and sighs
underneath this burning birch
where many men have died
take me in your arms
bury me beneath these tides
swallow me corpse, ocean of dirt
your dark final lullaby
all I could want
is to be a mirror in your eyes
sing me your song
soothe me while I bye
