To Sleep

A quiet lullaby
To help me fall away
Into the world where
That sole song
Expresses these
Distresses of late
Gently strumming
Humming away
And with each
Crooked arpeggio
I remember why
She forgets me in
A heartbeat when
She finds another
So all I want now
Is for this quietest
Of lullabies tonight
To cradle me till

[Till I'm whole again]
