I want to cling to you, child
I want to hold you to my chest and
whisper I love you over and over
I want to pat your back and sing
I want to rock you, back and forth, back and forth
until your eyelids grow heavy
and your tears dry up,
your mouth falls open
and i feel your heart beat slow
with sleep but instead
I listen to your sobs,
joined by my own,
and wait until exhaustion
creeps up and you sleep
