Somewhere, I Hear The Lullabies Poem by Liesel Eva Schmidt

I don't think I
Believe in you
Anymore.
I'm sorry.

You swore you
Would try.
For me.
For all of us.

But you left
Anyway.
I'm sorry,
But I don't think
I believe in you anymore.

Father, god, prophet,
Blind seer, one-legged tight rope
Walker. I'm sorry,
But I don't think
I believe in you anymore.

Mr. Rabbit
You fell into Wonderland. Crossed into Grimm's territory.
Land of castles and sorceries. I'm sorry,
But I don't think
I believe in you anymore.

Gray stone slab
Jutting from the soil.
Mr. Houdini, you escaped too well. I'm sorry,
But I don't think
I believe in you anymore.

Daisies frost your sky.
Lunacy and
Madness. Medicated. Stumble along. I'm sorry,
But I don't think
I believe in you anymore.

Smiles trapped in a fishbowl,
Snow globe
Of time. I'm sorry,
But I don't think
I believe in you anymore.

Somewhere, I hear the lullabies.
Somewhere, I hear Shakespeare.
Somewhere, I hear you.
I'm sorry, but I don't think
I believe in you anymore.
