Dream Eaters

They are the dark, the unseen, the shadows... they lurk and cower, seemingly helpless when in reality, they are stronger than us.

I watched the shadows creep

Guided by moonlight to the door

To steal your precious dreams forevermore.

From the clouds to the coast

To the never-ending green

We all mourn the loss of precious little dreams.

The bluebird has lost its song,

The ocean is no longer calm,

A little bit of darkness,

A night made for the truly heartless,

So lost in the soft melody of things unseen.

Watching lives fall apart at the seams.

The tainted music caresses our sleeping ears

Under the guise not of smiles, but tears.

The stars do not shine as bright

Above the tender harmony of this deceitful night.
