Lullaby


"Lullaby" by Newton Faulkner

"A dying man needs to die, as a sleepy man needs to sleep,
and there comes a time when it is wrong, as well as useless, to resist.
"

-Stewart Alsop

Close your eyes
Get some sleep
It's too late now
To change anything
But it's alright
Get some sleep
It's so dark outside
So close your eyes
And feel the world turn round
If you're not lost
I guess that makes you found...

  1. Okay! I love how this quote shows up again! It's foreshadowing!!! It's amazing! You planned this all out so well. And after reading Sleep this made so much more sense. It's really heartbreaking. You are talking about Isa, and you at the same time! And probably your relationship with "we don't say the B-word in this house!" I love it :)

  2. Perfect! I think you should have turned this into part 4, the whole story just feels like it changes direction when it hits this post. But once again, that's just my opinion.
