Don't let her go to sleep upset
because she'll only toss and turn in frustration,
until sadness pulls her into sleep, and tears stain her pillow.
You'll be her first thought when she wakes up,
and more than anything, she'll wish to go back to sleep,
back to the silence, back to the empty blackness.
Don't do this to her, she's worth so much more,
and if she wasn't, she wouldn't care.
