and you are
the sweet symphony
of tears
that lays me down
to sleep at night.

oh, such a sweet
and gentle sound,
like a hundred,
a thousand,
a million
screaming sighs.

(Monica Lin)

This poem is a published poem by a new author named Monica Lin. I own her book, Second Guessing, and it is a collection of her works. When I turned the page to this poem, I felt as if something lit up in me. This poem is like its very own love story, telling the tale of a broken man putting a woman to sleep, and that woman is the one who will fix him. This is a love story, and I am a sucker for love stories.
