Sleep Tight

When all the moves had been right
But the outcome wrong
An aftertaste
Of deceit and poison
Do you know the chilling fright
That every stroke turn strike
And every single word may have come
From a now forked tongue?
Have you shut the shroud
Over love once loud
Reduced to silence?
But when your eyes clear of clouds
May you move on yet moving with
Not erasing memories
To shut off the pain
Your love was not in vain
And in you it remains
May you sleep tight tonight
You’ve done what you could
And that’s just right
Maybe tomorrow you’ll further the fight
But before you go, smash the ice
With the weight of your dying heart
And don’t forget not to smile
Break that window, jump that fence
And go forth yonder hence
'Cause you’re not the only one alone
And our stories ain’t set in stone
And yours barely begins
Its arc pointing to the heavens
