"hushabye" poems
Go to sleep, and shut your eyes,
Please dream of broken butterflies
That tore their wings against a thorn.
For you know the pain that they have borne.
Silver metal, shines so bright.
Scarlet blood, that feels so right.
Dream of the blood that's trickling down,
And wake up just before you drown.
The moonlight's shining off your tears
Bleed out all your petty fears.
So tonight when you start to cry
You better whisper the cutters lullaby:
Hushabye baby, you're almost dead.
You don't have a pulse and your pillow is red.
Your family hates you, your friends let you bleed.
Sleep tight with a knife, cause it's all you'll need.
Rockabye baby, broken and scarred.
You didn't know life would be this hard.
Time to end the pain that you hid so well,
And down will come baby, straight back to hell.

A long time after bedtime
When it's very late
When even dogs dream
And there's deep sleep
Breathing through the house
When the doors are locked
And the curtains drawn
And the shops are dark
And the last train's gone
And there's no more traffic in the street
Because everyone's asleep
Then....
The window cleaner comes
To the main shop fronts
And polishes the glass
In the street-lit dark
And a big truck rumbles past
On it's way to the dump
Loaded with the last
Of the day's trash
On the twentieth floor
Of the office tower
There's a lighted window
And high up there
Another night cleaner's
Vacuuming the floor
Working nights on her own
While her children sleep at home
And down in the dome of the observatory
The astronomer who's waited all day for the dark
Is watching the good black sky at last
For stars and moons
And spikes of light
Through her telescope
In the middle of the night
While everybody sleeps
At the bakery
The bakers in their floury clothes
Mix dough in machines
For tomorrow's loaves of bread
And out by the gate
Rows of parked vans sit
For their drivers to come
And take newly baked
Bread to the shops
For the time when the
Bread eaters wake
Across the town at the hospital
Where the nurses watch in the dim-lit wards
Someone very old shuts their eyes
And dies
Breathes their very last breath
On their very last night
Yet not very far away on another floor
After months of waiting
A new baby's born
And the mother and father
Hold the baby and smile
And the baby looks up
And the world's just begun
But still, everybody sleeps
Now through the silent station
Past the empty shops
And the office towers
Past the sleeping streets
And the hospital
A train with no windows
Goes rattling by
And inside the train the sorters sift
Urgent letters and packets on the late night shift
So tomorrow's mail will arrive in time
At the towns and villages down the line
And the mother
With the wakeful child in her arms
Walking up and down
And up and down
And up and down
The room
Hears the train as it passes by
And the cats in the yard
And the night owl's flight
And hums hushabye hushabye
We should sleep now
You and I
It's late and time to close your eyes
It's the middle of the night.

Find a reason or an excuse to avoid
What you feel and how it burns inside
How it effects you they can't understand
To far, to intense, to much on your plate
They beg you to let them help, yet you escape
When really it's you, no other to blame
You made a mistake couldn't handle their gaze
Oh hide emotion because of your past
Open to nobody for fear of the out
Once knowing your weakness you no longer could face
Knowing they knew your inner most pain
For another's affection was to much to take
Then because you can't cope you push them away
Then scold yourself as you let them go
Then sleep at night thinking are they alone
Oh hushabye fool oh lament the loss
Only you could have told them you felt to much
More emotion than you could ever have known
The love they showed you was nothing you'd known
The end came silent you could no longer talk
You simply couldn't take in it's all
Now a memory, and what of the cost?
You can't repair what you, alone lost

Go to sleep, close your eyes
And dream of broken butterflies
That tore their wings, against a thorn
You know the pain that they've endured
Silver metal shines so bright
Scarlet blood that feels so right
Dream of that blood trickling down
And wake up just before you drown
The moonlight shining off your tears
As you bleed out your worst fears
So tonight when you start to cry
Whisper the cutters lullaby
Hushabye baby, your almost dead
You don't have a pulse and your pillow is read
Your family hates you, your friends let you bleed
Sleep tight with a knife, 'cause that's all you need
Rockabye baby, broken and scarred
You didn't know life would be this hard
Time to end the pain, you hid so well
And down you'll come baby
Back home to hell

*Go to sleep, and close your eyes,
And dream of broken butterflies,
That torn their wings against a torn,
You know the pain that they have borne,*

Scarlet blood, that feels so right,
Dream of that blood tracking down,
And wake up just before you drown,**

Go to sleep, Close your eyes,
Dream of broken butterflies
That tore their wing against a thorne.
You know the pain that they have borne.
Silver medal, shines so bright
Scarlette blood, that feels so right.
Dream of that blood trickling down,
And wake up just before you drown.
The moonlights shining off your tears,
As you bleed your own worst fears,
So tonight when you start to cry,
Whisper the cutters lullaby.
Hushabye baby, your almost dead.
You dont have a pulse and your pillow is red.
Your family hates you, your friends let you bleed.
Sleep tight with a knife because thats all you need.
Rockabye baby, broken and scarred,
You didnt know that life would be this hard.
Time to end the pain you hid so well,
And down will come baby, straight back to hell.

Funny how our rolling emotions inside
Can be calmed by the thundering storm outside
A wide and grey stretching sky
Can bring out a deeper sigh
The sky has sent her haunted kiss
Persuading all to reminisce
Still and quiet, now eerie silent
The air so still it's almost violent
Bleak sky dark and calming
Strangely so inviting
Lullaby-ing my soul to quiet
Assuaging all that was in riot
I can be tranquil like the sky
I'll sing myself a lullaby
And Hushabye these cares away
And me and mine will sway away
I'll sing a soft slow song
We'll grow together strong
The wind and rain will pitter pat
Hail and puddles and all of that
Babe soon to be in arms
Plus two wild'uns that run
My own small little charms
We've only just begun
Little feet splash in the puddles
Claps of thunder draw out delight
Inside me baby cuddles
Soon we'll all meet this heaven's sight

Go to sleep, close your eyes, and dream of broken butterflies.
They tore their wings against a thorn.
You know that pain that they've endured.
Silver metal shine so bright.
Scarlet blood that feels so right.
Dream of that blood trickling down, and wake up just before you drown.
The moonlight shining off your tears as you bleed out the worst of your fears.
So tonight when you start to cry, whisper the cutters lullaby: Hushabye baby, you're almost dead. You don't have a pulse and your pillow is red. Your family hates you. Your friends let you bleed. Sleep tight with a knife 'cause that's all you need. Rockabye baby, broken and scarred. You didn't know life would be this hard. Time to end the pain you hid well, and down you'll come, baby. Back home to hell.

Go to sleep, and close your eyes
And dream of broken butterflies
wings once pretty, now are torn
ripped and shredded against a thorn
Silver metal, shine so bright
Scarlet blood, that feels so right
Dream of that blood trickling down
Just don't wake up until you drown
The moonlight's shining off your tears
As you're bleeding out your own worst fears
wait tonight until you cry
then whisper the cutter's lullaby
Hushabye baby, you're almost dead
You've lost your pulse and your pillow Is red
Your family hates you, and your friends let You bleed
Sleep tight with a knife, cause it's all You'll need
Rockabye baby, broken and scarred
Who knew life could be this Hard
Time to end the pain that you hid so well
Then down will come baby, straight Back to hell.

*A gentle breeze from Hushabye Mountain
Softly blows o'er lullaby bay.
It fills the sails of boats that are waiting--
Waiting to sail your worries away.
It isn't far to Hushabye Mountain
And your boat waits down by the key.
The winds of night so softly are sighing--
Soon they will fly your troubles to sea.
So close your eyes on Hushabye Mountain.
Wave good-bye to cares of the day.
And watch your boat from Hushabye Mountain
Sail far away from lullaby bay.*

Sticks and stones may break my bones,
But the words you say to me will always hurt worse
They're like a a thousand knives cutting open my heart
Every time I miss you or you're angry with me or not talking to me I get this feeling in my chest
This ache that doesn't go away until it's all okay
Hushabye baby I'm not dead yet,
I know who you are not who I am,
That girl is lost so very lost,
Without you
She's long long gone.
You're her map;
She needs you to find herself.
You're the key that unlocks her heart
You're the drug that soothes her mind
When we're happy nothing else could ever matter more
Looking into your eyes
She falls for you each time
Harder.
Hushabye baby do you miss me?
I'm right here
I won't let you bleed
Look back into my eyes;
It's alright
Lay your head down
Sleep tight
"I'm trying"
"I'm not dying"
Soon we'll be together
Our hearts aren't completely broken
Just weathered
I love you more than ever..

walking alone
feelings almost grow a new
taught by something so special
just so i could lose you
it's torture waiting and praying
ripping me from where ive grown accustomed
you left me with nothing more, its too sudden
it is a haunting part of life forever intrenched in me
you were here, now you're gone and it only be littles my needs
ive put this song in repeat in memory of only you
it's a good day to go
but I guess you already know

*As My Love Lies Sleeping
by
Jude Kyrie
Sleep sweetly love and Hushabye .
I will bring you my lullaby
In my arms lay so gentle and sweet
Bringing comfort as my love falls asleep.
The world is in the turmoil of the madmen’s cry.
But not in our moonlight not even a sigh.
Memories that fill my heart with your kiss
Until morning will cover our bodies with bliss.
As the moonlight succumbs to the morning light.
My arms will carry you safe through the night.
The entire rude world that lives in the day
has faded to shadows as in my arms you do lay.
Moonlight it drifts around your sleeping head
Safe and warm forever in our blessed bed.
My heart is silently shouting my love in a loud cry
Beheld by you beauty in my lullaby*
