This was my favorite poem for years! I first read it 10 years ago. I was talking to a man on IMVU and he told me he was a writer. He sent me a few of his poems and I absolutely love them. I haven't talked to him in 10 years! Wow!
Anyhow, enjoy This Graveyard Lullaby
Anyhow, enjoy This Graveyard Lullaby
What could I do,
To make all your dreams come true.
What could I say,
To make you smile.
What could I do,
To make all your pain untrue.
Or was there anything at all...
I saw you die inside,
I watched the light fade from your eyes,
I felt your heart grow cold,
I saw the darkness take your soul,
Everything I've done,
I've done it all for you,
But it's wasn't enough,
To break through your tears...
I've tried a thousand times,
To bring the light back to your eyes,
I've gone through hell's dark flame,
To take the darkness from your soul,
Everything I've done,
I've done it all for you,
But it wasn't enough,
To heal all your pain...
There's nothing I can do for you now.
There's no bandage for your wound anymore.
The world has cut you far too deep,
Too deep for me to cure.
I was told so long ago,
To give up and let you go,
Before you killed me too.
But I could never give up on you...
As I sit here now,
I watch the light fade from the sky,
I feel my heart grow cold,
I feel the darkness take my soul,
I sink so slowly down,
Soon I will be with you,
Singing so quietly,
This graveyard lullaby
