My final prayer for you

by tryinXtoXholdXmyXheadXup   Mar 19, 2007


Now I lay my baby down to sleep,
My tired eyes began to weep.

Tears for the life we could have had,
Only if I would have left your dad!

If I would have loved you more,
Would you not have done this chore?

I pray to the lord you made it safe
I kept your slow and lifeless faith

You had a horrible mother
I was afraid to give you a brother

The brother you always wanted
Now I am forever haunted

Haunted by your present state
And the tears of last years prom date

this is my final pray for you
because you are gone now like the morning dew

    Hmm. this poem is pretty confusing. did you have a few ideas you wanted to write about? i don't follow it too easily. despite this, these lines are pretty lovely:
    "I pray to the lord you made it safe
    I kept your slow and lifeless faith"
    i'd think about reverting back to the style of writing you abided by in the poem 'Change'. it felt like the writing was free-er and you could write down things honestly and beautifully. you're a good writer and i admire your experimentalism, but i much prefer Change to the rest of the poems i've read so far.x
