Hush, Child.

Hush, Child, don’t say a word.

They drift away,

They never stay,

You know it’s all absurd.

You count to ten,

They’re gone again,

Goodbyes you never heard.

They taunt your sleep,

They cut you deep,

Now your vision’s blurred.

At crack of dawn,

Already gone,

Your broken ties uncured.

One last kiss,

The ones you miss,

But you know it’s all absurd,

So hush, Child, don’t say a word.
