Paper dragons

Paper dragons

Try to run away

Hear them 

Whispering

Living

In the silver

 

Gather

All your dreams

Store them 

In your pockets

Never let

The colours drain

 

Simple things

Make you smile

 

Simple things

Allow you to cry

 

Coldness

Close your eyes

Allow the shadows

Lengthen creep

Close your eyes

Time to sleep
