A man in a black cape
Came to my bed
He picked me up
I wasn’t afraid
He had no face
Nor were there eyes
He had no tongue
And spoke no lies
I listened long
I listened well
My heart was calm
And no tears fell
Leave me, Daddy,
Don’t be scared
I’m with this man
And safe at last
There’s no more pain
No need to cry
I’m happy now
So here’s goodbye
Don’t miss me Mommy,
I’m still around
But take your time,
You’ll be fine
I promise. Trust me.
