Innocence
Innocence is something I wish
I could have back.
At first it was stolen from me by
corruption and false trust.
Then it was taken to a place
where it was beaten into non-existance.
Into the darkness I fell, as if
under an evil spell.
Nothing but lies and deceit
surround me.
My innocence is lost now, just
a memory, like it was never there.
I now wander by myself in a place
where nothing can be saved.
Somewhere in all the ugliness my
faith has fallen away.
Something must come of all these
hurtful things.
Deeper and deeper I go into the
black heartless world.
Sunlight, where has it gone?
Perhaps it is in the same
place where my innocence lies.
