Lullaby Poem by Rebecca Pepper

Tears fall to the ground
But my heart breaks with more shame
And it breaks without a sound
So why can’t you take the blame

You promised me eternity
Oh how sweet was your word
The way you crippled me was a pity
Now I leave you as a flightless bird

‘I love you, you’ll never be alone’
That was your cute alibi
Those words now chill me to the bone
The words that were once my deadly lullaby

You gave me a new life
Your reason was just and right
Now your lies attack me like a knife
Just tell me again where you were that night

She told me of your ‘love’
You think you can play us both
Well you’ll need help from above
We’ll show you what happens if you break your oath

Oh sweet boy, you are in trouble
Both she and I now are out for revenge
Let’s see how you deal with our anger doubled
Both our hearts we will avenge
