Oh the apple of my eye!
It's okay to cry!
Shh..let me first sing you a lullaby
of universe, galaxy and constellation across the sky
of fairies that comes in disguise of firefly.

Like fairies do,
you wanted to live in that meadow too
where these flowers glow only for you.

On a night of terror,
you find a black widow there,
how scared you were!
yet you kindly walk away,
and waited till it went away.

A mirage into your heart that fades
along with your innocence that was fated to fade.

As you grow up, you see
there is no one to help, no one to see.

Your deeds were heinous,
that's why you feel hideous.
Your sins has brought you to your knees
the guilt brought tears
but isn't it sad, no one can see.

Left out here,
with you i'm the only one there,
I know your heart is broken
while mine seem to be frozen.

Oh sweetie it's okay to cry
now you have heard my lullaby
of my entire childhood woven with few lies
But unlike me, I promise you will be alright.
