IN MY SLEEP

In my sleep, I see children crying,
when I see their little white faces
my heart wanted to weep;
those children no longer play,
Someone had taken all there love away
taken their innocence;
when I was a child,
all I could remember was the pains
of those cold lost days;
where the sky was always grey,
I remember hearing someone say,
come back to me child
You’re walking the wrong way,
Now, only in my sleep,
I could only remember the faces I’ve seen
In those painful darken dreams,
Time is forgotten the old voice would say
While he leads me to stray;
I often think about the children
With those sad long faces,
What had come of them?
Who knows what this old darken life
had done to them;
last night in my sleep
I hear the children weep,
I see a broken doll-house
along the stair cases,
soon I met their eyes
while they were saying their goodbyes,
I often wonder what all of this means,
Are these children
locked away in darken dreams,
I wonder while they sleep
Do they see me?
For I was once a child as they
Who has lost the way.
