Grandma's Gone

Hush little baby
don't you dare cry.
Someday someone
will sing you your final lullaby.

The cradle of my life
has long been destroyed.
Shards and broken splinters
still embedded in the void.

I wake to the rise
and fall to my sleep.
The emptiness engulfs me
only held in my own arms to comfort keep.

Starlight, starbright..
Shine upon my tears.
Protect in the darkness
from being consumed by my fears.

I am a black sheep
with no wool to keep me warm.
This is the prayer
to keep me while your gone..
