Lullaby
Deepest sympathy is in her tear-stained eyes
But all you’ll ever see is happiness and lies
On a cascade of notes, her broken heart floats by
She finds perfection in these broken lullabies
Longing for sorrow where there is none
Longing for tears where there is only sun
Stuck in between intimacy and pity
This is no place to build a home
If she continues on this path
Who will she become?
She keeps searching for answers
But finds only temporary fixes
A last attempt
A desperate plea
As she drops the blade, falls to her knees
Maybe now someone will see
But silence falls as they walk away
Hope disappears while the scars remain
Rejecting grace as an insolent lie
She’s left without answers, with no reason to try
But it’s in the darkness that your light shines
And in the weakness that you show strength
You reached down with a mighty hand
Picked up the pieces and told her to start again
You give purpose to the broken down
It’s only in you that true hope is found
You made a way where there seemed to be none
And took her to places she’d never gone
Now deep insight is in her opened eyes
And you see everything inside
Each new day brings another joy
And she finds perfection in these broken lullabies.
