The standard contour transform
$$
\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\frac{x}{x^2+\alpha^2}e^{-ikx}dx
=-i\pi\operatorname{sgn}(k)e^{-\alpha|k|}
$$
holds for $\operatorname{Re}\alpha>0$, with the appropriate upper or lower pole chosen according to the sign of $k$. Therefore
$$
\boxed{m(x)=\frac{x}{x^2+\alpha^2}}.
$$
