Innocence

The greatest illusion in this life is innocence
it's something that gets worse over time
affecting the body's, eyes, ears, soul, and mind
making you so dumb, deaf and blind
denying the truth all the time

Believing in someone who pretends to be different and is the best
thinking like they're better than the rest
never being honest, always keeping secrets trying to be so sublime
Always lying, cheating, stealing and ready to kill
can't even tell what or who is real
living a life that's so surreal
never really knowing how to feel
like love, compassion or forgiveness
to them its nothing but business

even a person that looks and acts pure at heart
is really hiding their true intentions in the dark
holding back a sinister grin, trying to trick you and let them in
turning your mind so cold and thin
telling you things like they want to take care of your heart
just so they can tare it apart
praying on your emotional state
telling you it must be fate
only to be devoured by their words and choices you have made
making you deals and promises they'll never intend to keep
doing and plotting bad things and watching you while you sleep
turning your hopes and dreams into nightmares and messing with your mind
making you believe it was nothing more than a waste of time

letting you watch, as your whole world crashes and burns and your mind slowly begins to turn
until there is nothing left but the cold surrounding air of sweet merciful death
watching as you breathing your very last breath

as your lying in a state of decay, as your body rots and slowly begins to fade away
leaving you with nothing left to say or meaning or reason to stay
taken everything you hoped and loved and dreamed away in a flash,
as it sits in front of you like a pile of ash
still staring at you with their innocent, eyes
still filling your head full of false hope and lies
until the day you die.
