Analysis of The Evening shadow



Tears flow off eyes, when? The dusk
But i dont know why
Little humming bird in the sphere, starring it tears flow off
I recollect my beloved once
The dusk takes me to a fantasy world
Where there souls resides.
The taxi engine starts, my heart pumps
Feels like they are back home
He got a lovely smile on his face
And it's still in my eyes
I was APA'S little docile pet
I wonder how he got the slumber
I just want this to be a nightmare
And tell my siblings as a tales, but its a real life
