Sing with me as I fall to sleep,
deprived of the pain, love is all I see

I was 5 when I realised everyone has a mom,
I searched for her in d world, but was nowhere to be found,
passerby went on ranting ‘you are an orphan’,
that was when i knew I was to be alone.

The kid across the street played with his dad,
Mine was hiding somewhere in security,
I was put into foster care, but it was no better than reality.

I grew up way too fast, wondering what happiness meant,
Got a job and a house, to witness me drown in  sorrow everyday.
Went to a doctor to be told I was going to die,
I kept questioning myself can a dead person again die ?

Alcohol, smoke and drugs were my past times,
And police my best friend,
Dried up tear ducts and a bruised shin,
Always accompanied me in my health.

Then came the change, to make me human,
An angel disguised as a woman, to show me life,
We loved and laughed, we cried and crawled,
But we stood affirm together to wilt every storm.

To make her smile was my reason to live,
But God loved her more as he took her to be with him.
Purpose lost, dream destroyed, I didn’t know how to cope,
For I was a simple animal, only to love my pain.

But this moment is all it comes to,
I gifting myself redemption for an unknown cause,
As I lay in my own blood, with the smile I couldn’t ever really have,
Wait for him to free me from my pain.

So sing with me to my beautiful sleep,
Deprived of pain, love is all I see..
