You scream out in darkness,
another unwelcome night.
I hold you tightly,
willing you not to cry.

Sleep love, softly
Don't you cry.
I'll sing you to a restful sleep
With cursed lullabies

Dreams of blood,
tears flood your eyes
I'll sing you to a peaceful rest
cursed lullabies...

Death and danger haunts this night
I hold you tightly in my arms,
An urge I cannot fight
The wind howls against the windowpane,
it bangs and it snarls

Hush now, darling, close your eyes
I rock you to a dreamless sleep,
Humming cursed lullabies...

Cursed lullabies

This is really good, and kind of haunting. Think that maybe you could spare some time and leave me a comment on my poem? If you can't that's all right, but I'd love to hear your opinion.

"My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all."
