Sara Kendrick Poet Tail-rhyme

Sleep Talking

You're "Talking In Your Sleep" again
If ask you about name, you won't feign
Just act dumb unconcerned

You're "Talking In Your Sleep" again
This time a very different pain
Tears from lover that's spurned

Tears flow because I don't constrain
Unfaithfulness you'll not disdain
This sore heart will sit churned

You're "Talking In Your Sleep" profane
Last time I'll hear her name and retain
I have totally learned
