Fading Innocence
So difficult to see, as it can be forcefully stripped away.
Among the faces of many, but disappears day by day.
Ripped from ones life, once a beautiful memory.
When thrown out of sight, plays a sinful melody.
Hiding among the tears, of victims of constant sins.
Once protection from our fears, now an entity of the wind.
Innocence nows rests, in pools of eternal pain.
The desirable outcome at best, is remaining somewhat sane.
Can you look into her eyes, and see if innocence there?
Or is it fading out of sight, as pain draws her closer to despair?
