The dark birds

Where did they go?
The dark birds of my child
Where did they go?
In shades of red and shy
Where did they go?
When your eyes were alive
Where did they go?
When my hand kissed your hand
Where did they go?
Our silence broke in a flash
Where did they go?
Our mouths looking for something
Something that’s very far away
Away from our little hands
Away from our little minds
Flying above our heads
In the wings of my black birds
The day when dreams are gone
The day when you are alone
In a place so big and high
That nobody even cares
That you smell your blood and cry
In your little grave of yesterday
You can’t go back again
Where did they go?
Why am I supposed to grow?
Why am I supposed to think?
Why am I supposed to talk, to scream and cry for things that really don’t bother me?
Fly away dark birds
I want to return to that day
I wanna kiss him again
And together fly away
So far from your wings
With his hand in my hand
And my dreams in his lips
