Lullaby

Her name remains the most beautiful flower,

a representation of her in every way 

and not a secret I could keep hidden. 

Yet through the cracks in my skull

scream words that were never said,

things that were never done,

Whether it was because I couldn't grasp them

or because I was simply a coward.

No matter how late I am, I at least want you to know.

What I said was only a fraction of the truth,

if I got started you would never hear the end

of how much I love you.

For your smile, laugh, eyes and kindness,

my heart would care for hell if that would be all it could see.

To hold your hands I wish I did,

I would never let you go

I'd stay by thy side and protect thee from tears,

hold you tightly and take away all fears.

Worth more than all the wonders of the world,

even the stars are dim in your presence.

All that honesty gives me hope,

You are impossible in all your ways,

introduced me to poetry

and changed all of my faith.

Stay strong and one day

you will find, 

Your own flower too.
