The neverborn

Анна Шараева
You meet them when you fall asleep
they come at night
You see them in the dark so deep
their eyes are bright
You hear their voices from afar
like running streams
But never what they really are
they hold back screams
And every time you close your eyes
you feel them breathe
It feels like rainbow in the skies
like ocean breeze
Like silver bells on Christmas Eve
they call your name
Nobody who they may deceive
will be the same
If you reply they'll take your hand
lead you away
From what you love and understand
the light of day
Their skillful spells you cannot tear
they bind you tight
Their loneliness to ever share
and you can't fight
You won't be back
your heart will break
you'll make no sign
the day will dawn
but you won't wake
to see it shine
And they will come into my dreams
lost and forlorn
for never let us sleep in peace
the neverborn
