My Sweet Lullaby

I craved for a moonlight dance, 
When I once freed my rotten desires.
Longing for a warm hand, 
I set the music for a classic waltz. 

Into the rhythm I submit, 
Swaying around my empty space
I lift a burden caged for a time
An irreversible smile has now sprung.

Farther and farther I dived
My closed windows welcomed the sun
My dark rooms opened their doors
I unblinded the breathing cloaked in me. 

And so I watched me dancing on my own
Freeing my sleeping memories
I danced and woke to my amusing disguise
To what I call my sweet lullaby.
