Analysis of Never been
This morning I woke up
searching reverently
for your grave
Nothing
was it all a dream
but the void inside growing
remind me that it is real
I picked you flowers
White and blue
where can I take them to?
I want to say your name
but it never was
I wondered about your eyes
brown or blue
I can ‘t prepare a room for you
for you never were
the world tells me to move on-
You never were so you are not gone
but I never move on
For darkness falls
after broken prayers
I will look for your grave
The grave of the little one
I dreamed of all day long
