Mommy lied
when daddy died
she told her children
that she no longer
could sing
Three years later
lying in a hospital bed
Mommy told her children
she had to say goodbye
after she said goodbye
they asked if she could sing
her last lullaby
Mommy lied as
she died
her last breath
she took she told
them to listen
in the night
to follow the memory
of mommys first lullaby
In the night her children
took to the darkness of the forest
they heard her lullaby
that very night her children
disappeared from the light
into the forest of lies and lullabys
