You found her in your sleep, in your screams <br />In the amazing wreckage of your dreams <br />You carried her to safety <br />To the shade beneath the trees <br />And sent a prayer to heaven <br />Fell down onto your knees <br />You said if she`d stay with you a while <br />You`d write her name across the miles <br /> <br />But the clocks have all stopped moving <br />Each insect wheel and arm <br />And the sands of time all blown away <br />Blinding others with their charm <br />You scream at all who`ll hear you <br />How such beauty came to harm <br /> <br />And you`ll never know her laughter <br />Her voice, her touch, her lips <br />As she falls apart before you <br />Beneath your fingertips <br />Never know, you`ll never know <br />Never never know her <br /> <br />Her skin peels away in pages <br />Of tiny printed words <br />That scatter on the wind like flocks <br />Of tiny printed birds <br />The pages come too fast <br />You lose them to the wind <br />Catching words like love and beat <br />And dreams coming to an end <br /> <br />And you`ll never know never know <br />Never never know her <br />Never know what you lost <br />And never ever hold her<br /><br />Alice Silvers<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-ll-never-know-her/
