Poetry

For Innocence I Cry

I understandI’m older nowI’ve seen the truthGet lost somehow

But I rememberHow it used to beWhen time was endlessWhen life was free

When years were longWhen days were brightWhen dark was darkAnd light was light

Without the hazeWithout the grayWithout the truthWe found a way

And now I sitAnd now I cryFor memories lostFor time gone by

For youthfulnessFor dignityFor innocenceFor purity…

I cry
