She sleeps so peacefully, yet not at all
the world seems to stop, slip away, and fall
disappearing right in front of my eyes
threatening to tare away my disguise
Why does everything suddenly seem small?
Time ticks and fear begins to creep and crawl
building within me, it constructs a wall
holding back the tears that are on the rise
threatening to pour like dark cloudy skies
She sleeps so peacefully...
She lays there so still, covered in her shawl.
How do I reverse this? How do I stall?
How do I let go of my fear? my guise?
I'm just not ready to say my goodbyes.
It's too soon for her to answer this call.
She sleeps so peacefully...
thought i'd explore a new form...rondeau. took a bit of an effort to get through this. all was not as easy a word for rhyming. as for eyes, i ended up switching to it after writing the first stanza with hole as the second rhyme. the toughest part though was the wall that once kept the tears at bay has begun to crack and crumble.
