While You Sleep
Discord. Dejection.
Remorse. Regret.
“Asleep. Asleep.” She’d coo to you as you lie there and weep.
“Asleep. Asleep. All shall be better whenever you and I can fall asleep.”
“Hush now, and just go to sleep”
She’d lull to you as your eyelids meet.
“Asleep, asleep, all will be fixed by next week”.
Her hushed tone and beguiling words soothe your worries
For you sincerely hope
That she hasn’t deceived you
Yet she has no plans to see tomorrow
Her only intention is to hold you close for the last time.
For she expects nothing else
Than for you to awaken well rested
And absolutely alone
