Don't get too tired tonight
Have some rest and turn off the light
Think of me before you sleep on tight
Remember, I love you always, with all my might.

Apollo has sent his horses to rest
Artemis has come out to dance
So close your eyes
It’s time to sleep
But don’t forget to
Pray to the Gods to watch over you
As you sleep in blissful peace
Tonight may you look upon a winter's scene
Snow upon the spruce's green
Crystals falling everywhere
Dancing through the evening air
Oil lamps line the streets
A warm orange glow in the chilly breeze
They taunt me at night
I sleep with a light
My fingers curl underneath
And I tuck in my feet
I shiver and quiver
I can see the moon glow silver
I hide my head
And curl up in bed
How do you sleep with so much in your head
like a train circulating a mountain, full speed
it's hard for you to go to bed
like a victim fighting to be freed
my mind gives me no peace
you hear something tumble down the stairs.
only eight years old, your scared to death.
under the covers, you pretend to be asleep.
the door swings open and mom stammers in.
I think.
I cry.
I cut.
I die.
But you don’t even care;
That I’m not here anymore.
You can tell me that I suck,
But that won’t change the fact,
In the moments of doubt and uncertainty leapt off your tongue and spilled over into the thin air resulting in the warmest embraces and the wisest words exchanged allowing you to fall gently asleep in your darling fairy room lying your little head
Hush my darling,
Close your eyes
The whole world is suddenly fading
Once bright blue are blacked skies
Where the stars are now parading.
Rest my love,
And chase your dreams
And whilst you were sleeping,
I sang by your ear,
while
our hearts beat as one,
And I watched over you,
As your head rested upon my arm.
It doesn't feel right when we fight
over things that don't matter at all.
And my disbelief at the words
that you breathed
masks the tears that I'm holding inside.
When we go to sleep
it is strangling, sucking out my inner self
till im nothing but a lifeless carcus
till my ashes drift away with the roaring wind
and become one with the apmosphere.
Wrapping my girl in prayers of protection,
Mumbling to the One with power over night;
Power over angels, demons, us and our possessions;
Lord, please let my girl sleep tight.
Let fall the deep, dark, dreamless sleep;
With no tears shed, nor bodies bled;
Be showered with the kisses of the night;
Goodnight, my darling, goodnight.
Sending air hugs and kisses;
Praying you sleep soundly;
Loving you with all my heart;
Sleep tight, my love;
Goodnight.
Running my fingers through your hair;
Soaking in the serenity of your sleep;
Warding off the demons and their dreams;
Blissful ignorance written on your lips;
Praying you maintain this state of being,
Goodnight, sweet little sister;
Sleep well and peacefully;
Dream of joy, dream happily;
I love you and watch over you;
Goodnight, sweet little sister.
Making you smile is a blessing..
Having you in my life has been amazing..
Goodnight, sweet dreams..
I love your attitude and how you're never rude
So many men in the world so you had to choose
So I'm the lucky one on this special day
That gets to be with a mothers beautiful bay bay
