He was the type of boy that ran away
Took his memories with him like a reaper in the night
Breaking hearts as he travelled
Down the path of self-destruction
They said not to fall for him
Eyes green as the grass he lived on
Wisdom too much for his years
She didn't listen
She fell too hard
And so did he
She escaped her troubles with a land all her own
A place of sickly green grass
Trees that lined the ocean's waves
Birds chirped in the sun and howled in the wind
Water that glistened with a touch
Felt like silk to the bone
Dreamers felt like this
Lives never ran out
Youth was among all
She met him here on a bright dusky morning
He greeted her with bow and a wink
She greeted him with a slight smile back
And somehow she knew he was different than others before
As they sat near the waterfall
His question haunted her for days
Stay he said and repeated it twice
As she cried it rained and it thundered with rage
A silent morning turned to a lifeless night
I want grow up she spoke this all isn't real
He reminded her of the grass, the water, the birds
She almost caved in
What a storyteller he was
Then leave he screamed as lightning struck down
Her vision blurred like a hazy sleep
A shadow black like the night but visible by day appeared
Take her away he screamed like a madden king
The memories we shared she will forget them all
She thrashed and screamed but he turned away
When she looked back at the descending world
She saw the black center where the light never hit
Terrors of children from nightmares and loss of a love one was a piercing sound
The shadow leaned in close
Numbness started to engulf her
This could have been all ours he whispered
Our own Neverland
Let me know if I should add more!
