Analysis of Unborn
If you come to see,
I was taken away, before the day
There is no time, nothing to tell
I am the light in morning eyes
A gentle breeze upon the face
I am what never was to be
I have no joy, feel no pain
I am a memory, I join the rest
Do not wonder, do not sorrow
You may look for me, I'm not there.
