Neverwas and Nevermore

Neverwas and nevermore
two places I have been,
the former taught me how to dream
where I'lll never go again.

Journey begins at twilight
through a time tunnel, secure
be careful, avoid the shadows
they cause aches one can't endure.

Neverwas and nevermore
two places I have been,
the latter highlights memories
I make with all my friends.

Out of time's windy tunnel
you'll spy a meadowy-like haze,
that separates the field of dreams
from the light and shadow maze.

Neverwas and nevermore
two places I have been,
the former taught me how to dream
where I'll never go again;

and when you breathe, your fears all leave
because the air's so blue,
it's sometimes difficult to see
if the meloncholy swallows you.

Neverwas and nevermore
two places I have been,
the latter highlights memories
I made with all my friends;

and with thier help, my life's been adorned
from some of the rarest fabric sewn;
imported only for my, warm existence
so for, forever; I'll not feel...so alone.

Two places

I have definitely been. Good write. I try to stay out of neverwas, it tends to get me in trouble if i overthink it. Nevermore is a place I frequent, the things that was and will never be again...
