Last Lullaby

poem by: Julius Brian Cruz
Written on Jun 14, 2017

By the infinite night sky, I whispered the words “I’m Sorry...”
Gazing at the falling stars, wishes they never grant me.
And ever since then, like a child, innocence that time took from me.
Eyes that were once so bright, burned out like childhood fantasies.


Beneath the eyes of sinners, is a wounded inner child.
Needs that were never met, Wants that were never given.
Searching everlastingly, lost memories within time.
Consoling themselves, with a gold that never really shined.


A beautiful illusion.... a mask that smiles; a face that tears.
Trying to piece tomorrow, a trail of failure years.
Living on each day, with the words “I’m Okay!”.
Below the pendent cross, no one heard him pray.


With a pen and a paper, by the infinite night sky.
Tracing the words “I’m Sorry!”, the inner child cries.
Till tomorrow wakes, till the pain subsides.
Don’t read me.........”My Last Lullaby”...

poem by Julius Brian Cruz

In an empty balcony, where whispers of longing echoes. A lonely scenery, accompanies the session of shadows. As i grew so weary, searching for your matchless glow. In the endless night eve, faintly an image of you shows. I never... Read more
