A Lullaby

It's okay,
You can sleep now, rest your helpless soul
All the lullabies in the world I'll sing to you,
There are no monsters underneath your bed
None hiding in the closet, I checked.

It's alright,
I'll be here, go to sleep, peaceful one
No one can harm a hair on your head,
The sirens are echoing miles away
If they come, I'll keep them at bay.

Keep calm,
Sweet child, you used to reside in me
My love and lust, you were born of it,
So close your eyes and don't worry a thing
I promise, it's all just a misunderstanding.

Be patient,
Like I was in pain, when you came out
Bound by a chord that's ever so profound,
Like a diamond you are priceless and rare
It just might be you are beyond repair.

It's okay,
I'll stand by you, no matter what you do
The world can't touch you in my womb,
We'll flee to a city far beyond the border,
Cause the ones here know you're a murderer.
