Poetrics for today: Lullaby

Poetrics is a combination of lyrics from some of my favorite songs and poetry I write inspired by these songs.

I take the essence of the song, the meaning it has, and write a poem on that. Then I let the lyrics of the song dance through the poem.

Note: The lyrics always stay the property of the band or artist who wrote them. All the credit goes to them.

My Poetry is written in White, the Lyrics are written in Blue. Beneath the picture, you can read the Poetrics as well.

Lullaby – Nickelback

 –

Well, I know the feeling

You think that you’ll go insane

When your world is crashing down

And everything seems in vain

Hanging on the edge, trying not to fall

 –

I’m reaching out

You don’t have to fight alone

When you want to give up

And you are chilled to the bone

Just breathe and give me a call

 –

Let my heartbeat be your guideline

I’m telling you that, it’s never that bad

 –

If you can hear me now

Surrounded by the chaos of your mind

When you lose all control

And the darkness makes you blind

I will try to break through your wall

 –

So just close your eyes

Listen to my words, their melody

As long as your heart beats, there’s hope

In you darkest hour, you’ll have me

Take a chance, no matter how small

 –

Let my heartbeat be your lullaby

Please let me take you

Out of the darkness and into the light
