Lullaby

Slit my wrists
and hope to die
sing to me
one last lullaby

for as the tears
rest on my lip
i lay down and
let go of my grip

so hum the
simple melody
as the relief
washes over me

you sing this
last song
the words
so sweet so sincere

and with its
last beat
i finally admit
my defeat

slit my wrists
and watch it bleed
now I'm gone
put out of my misery

so sing the lullaby
sad and sweet
let me hear it
before i leave
