Be Loved
Come here little one
Let me tuck you in
Under a starry blanket
With a kiss upon your chin.
Today is sorrow now past
Let hope tomorrow shine
The indigo of night is soft
Remember you are mine.
Come here little one
It is now time to sleep
Let sigh your weary head
Fall into me, a heap
Of emotion, and numbness
Yeah, and sorrowful heart.
Rest in my arms, child
For tomorrow's fresh start.
Come here little one
Your heart is much too big
Today you shuffle and mourn in silence
Tomorrow you may dance a jig.
Cry your tears, grieve your loss,
Shudder with all that you are.
Do not forget, but you must let go
Love will never be far.
Come here little one
I see your anger, and I see your hurt
The blackest ichor has sapped your strength
And it's stolen all your mirth.
Not to be, for a little while,
And escape this nightmare to dream,
The night and her stars cannot last forever
Let your eyes trickle a stream.
Come here little one
Here within my arms
You are in my heart
Here within my charms.
Lay down, little one
Please, I need you, too,
Though I can no longer caress
I still love you.
