Sleep

Hush now darling

Please don't cry

Close your weary eyes and sleep

 

I know your hurting

Your heart and bones alike

So sleep, darling, sleep

And the pain will flee

 

Maybe you'll dream of angels

Or castles and green meadows

And for once you'll smile

That beautiful smile

That I haven't seen in a long long while

 

Close your sad eyes

Trust me to wipe away your river of tears

And sleep

Escape to a land of peaceful dreams

Where the pain will finally cease

 

Darling, you're pale

Why are you so pale?

Darling your breath...

You're breath is so shallow...

 

Wake up! Darling come back! I've changed my mind!

Come back from those angelic dreams

I'll be your princess! I'll be all you need!

Anything you could ever need!

Just don't fall asleep!

 

I'll heal your wounds

I'll make you smile!

We'll even laugh and play and sing once in a while

Open your eyes! Open those lovely blue eyes!

If you fall asleep now

I shall lose my dream...

 

Darling... are you there?

Where is your heart beat

Once so steady... you were my rock

Darling can you here me

Or does the singing of angels fill your ears...

 

Darling... is it nice?
That dream filled with angels

Do you miss me like I miss you?

Darling.. is the pain gone?

Are you showing off that smile

With crinkling blue eyes...

Are you happy again?

 

Your light lips are smiling dear

It beings tears to my eyes

I'm sure this is your most restful sleep

Goodnight, darling, goodnight

I loved this, and it made me tear up. You know your a good writer when you can make people cry.

[Tai Ryens]

Wow, I love how this story progresses. It is a little dark, brought back some feelings that I've missed. This left me speechless at how amazing it is, keep it up!

[Wendy Seames Garner]

Beautiful, yet so sad. I liked the ending. I think you have a little typo: "It beings tears to my eyes" - Did you mean it (brings) tears to my eyes?
