Goodbye Lullaby:
Unanounced this final hour
Lingering breath of words turned sour
Love held still by one small flower
Even petals call for wistful showers
Air hangs thick with dew of donts
One branch split in two by wonts
Struck by chords, not one my own
Trembling my world with your stinging tone
All at once,
I forgot to come up for air
Drifting down,
Sink until I reach the one last stair
I ignored the warning signs
And tales told by whispering pines
No regrets for failed designs
Song left undone
Caught on verse one
Forever etched in rings of time
