The woods are lovely, dark and deep<br /> But I have promises to keep<br /> And miles to go before I sleep<br /> -Robert Frost

Lullaby sung by a comforting angel.

Isn't it funny how fate intervines, leaving memories bittersweet.

Silence now as I sleep, no more lullabies for me.

Tender kisses on a baby's forehead, only in dreams.

Enter dark rooms and cold sheets.

Never a sound, even when you listen.
