The Self-Abusive Lullaby

It goes to the lullaby tune Mocking bird.

hush, child now put down that knife~

Put down the razor blade, Now take my advice~

All the cruel, thick words~

All the angst, depressing days~

When you're stabbed in the back~

And you're bleeding all the way~

Through the pain and the torment~

But I must confess~

It brings sorrow to myself to think of you as any less~

If you feel the need, come to me when you can~

And I'll stay right beside you through thick and thin~

I don't have a mocking bird, or a cart and bull~

But I've got all of my love for you to have and to hold~

And I'll give it all to you, whenever I can~

And if I'm not around, sing this tune, if you can~

Because, Every waking day, is a chore and a pain~

But you make a life worth living so I ask that you stay~

If you throw it all away, then I'll be sad~

Because I know that I have done the best that I can~

And if it's not enough, then I will just give more~

Because to live without you, dear, is not an option anymore...~

[Chocolate Coffee]

Very moving, it put me on edge and then the ending was reassuring. Nicely done.
