Playful Sobs of Lullaby

Mournful silence in which they cry.

The union that has left them cold.

The remnants of a lie that sold.

Did we head into this deal blind?

Can we say we weren’t of right mind?

Broken, crumpled; before your eyes.

Collateral to your self –demise.

All the things you did not see.

Until they forced a mirror to thee.

Did we think of one another?

Can we say we that you’re my lover?

No answer? Nothing left to say?

I’m sorry my dear.

This time I didn’t come back.

I’m sorry. Please hear.
