Lullaby


It’s dark and everything’s black
All I can hear is a slow ticking sound
I can barely move my fingers
I can’t even hear my heart pound.

Then I felt her sit beside me
I’ve always loved her scent
She held my hand and sang her soul
Enchanting lullaby of a mother’s breath.

The room’s suddenly filled with her voice
As her hand gently caresses mine
Her music gradually became sorrowful sobs
As everything starts to light up and shine.

Suddenly, I can’t hear her lullaby anymore
But only a static sound slowly fading away
I started to float to an endless hole, smiling
For I know I’d hear her lullabies again someday.
