For Once
For Once!
For Once….. Be Quiet.
For Once….. Stay still
For Once….. Don’t touch
For Once….. Go to sleep
I got my for once finally, but not until it was my last.
For Tomorrow…… it will be Quiet.
…… it will be still.
….. it won’t touch.
….. and it will sleep.
For Once, I wish I could hear a little noise.
For Once, I wish there was movement.
For Once, I wish I could feel the touch.
For Once, I wish it were Awake.
Just one more time.
So I can never say those words ever again.
For Once!
