Innocence
I want to revert back to sweeter times,
When laughter and carelessness were in style,
And everything was a new discovery
Those memories, however vivid are distant
They seem like nothing more lately,
Than the dust which sits and grows
On the pile of books I used to love
The world around me grows ever so cold,
And the darkness makes it hard to see
The happiness which used to be a part of me.
I want to become a tabula rasa once again,
I want to feel the warmth of my mother
for the first time once more,
I want to weep like a puppy when my father
Leaves for the night
My innocence is the one thing I’d give
Everything to have once again.
