Rock You Like A Lullaby :: wamomo :: Original Poetry

Rock You Like A Lullaby

The tears in yours eyes fall on tender, aching heart...

pain quietly understood to be no less than tearing you apart.

Not a word offered could come close to quelling desperate pain...

by acceptance and time only, will semblance of sanity be gained.

Your eyes tell the stories of memories held so incredibly dear...

and of unleashed rage, thoughts of life without him, and fear.

Questions of life’s fairness and dread for the long days ahead...

until time smoothes the edges, and numbs the sting of his death.

A soft, warm, gentle touch to tear streaked, blazing red cheeks...

wishing time would turn back & erase the events of the week.

I’d give the world to take away the goodbye you had to say today...

as my heart sinks with every sob, and I cannot keep the pain at bay.

Cheek to cheek, mingling tears with tears...holding your trembling chin high;

a longing gaze, a tender kiss, a loving touch...and tonight...

...I’ll rock you like a lullaby.

wamomo 10/13/2010: Thank you so much, Nonners. This was a difficult piece to write and keep re-reading.
