BABY, YOU MAY
NOW SLEEP
There are times
when I think I am strong
But there are
times I know I am wrong
Telling myself
that you are happy
But how
can I when you are only a memory?
The
tears are dried, the pain subsides
Laughter and
smiles I cannot hide
For a moment, life is back to normal
But the truth
hits and the pain unbearable
You are not
going to be here
Your gurgles I
cannot hear
I miss your gaze
Your smile is
now just a haze
Again, the tears
fall and the ache burns
Telling myself,
You are happy. You
have returned.
Promise myself
I
will be strong, I will not weep
Baby, you may
now sleep………
Vincent – I love
you.
