INNOCENCE

The confetti of shattered mirrors In you I witness the breaks Undeniably empty Lacking the confident takes A burdensome fantasy As above so below Staring down the hallway Where all of them go? Bitterness becomes a way of life (Loss, loss) Innocence can only last a little while (Have you lost your way?) Looking back at cruelties Reflecting in the gleam of our blood While the world has cheated us As below so above Shake hands with trauma Greet grief with a smile Bury this so ravenous And let me sleep for a while (Loss, loss) Bitterness becomes a way of life
