July's Child

Where is your head
and where is your heart
Don't mix these two
for they are very much apart

Don't be a fool
by listening to your soul
Oh, how the soothing melody
is a mirage of something cold

It begs you closer
like a sweet little kiss
But my dear
your Mother isn't here

Dearest child
so full of wonder and hope
Seal your eyes forever tonight
for this world is not yours to cope

Your mind knows better
than your heart's own sorrows
Let the waves take you tonight
for you may no need to suffer tomorrow

You will struggle
as you breath
You will fight
yet wanting to cease

In a world this cruel
my dearest child
Lay your head to sleep
for that is your only peace
