"Rock yourself to sleep."

that's what you said to me.

You were gone,

and I was alone,

because you loved your job.

I was left to fend for myself,

for on you I couldn't depend.

Your love was my one wish,

but it was soon replaced by hate.

Now that you are old,

and you want me to come around,

all I can say is,

"Rock yourself to sleep."
