Lullaby

I could never get that haunting toon out of my head.
ringing in my ears when i sleep,
singing in my ears when i weep.

I remember the first time i heard it,
that sweet song,
sad and longing,
but also skin crawling,
lovely but also a little terrifying.

It made my body go numb with affection,
my fingers twitch,
and my blood flow faster.

I stood there,
afraid and flattered,
shocked and awed.

I thought it was beautiful.
I loved it,
inviting it into my thoughts,
letting it sing in my head,
humming with it.

But now I hate it,
Interrupting me,
distracting me,
giving me headaches.

It corrupted my mind.
It use to be a beautiful lullaby,
but now its a haunting nightmare.
