Lullabye #2

Tonight, there are two
and they are you and I
and the stars provide a view
but surely they can't guide
through bouts of same,
blackbirds and shame,
some songs make sweet lullabies
because some nights last longer than life.
If the world turns its gaze
and fortune chooses to hide,
just fall to this embrace.
some things fit by design
spinning yarns
and opening arms,
some songs can hold us too tight
because some words strike faster than light.
When the day shows its face
and your worries fade with dawn
the fragments we try to trace
the path of the something that's gone
because you and me
and the morning make three,
some songs whisper goodbye
because some thoughts are best left behind.
