Lonely Lullaby

Precious days absorbed in loneliness
carried around by a single heart
Love shattered like glass and little
shards puncture old wounds
Where did the innocence go that was
once sworn upon
Searching in all the wrong places just to
hear in the moment lies
Sipping from the cup of grief slowly dying
with every swallow
Forcing the ache to sleep yet hoping for
a change in the wind
