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 did all of it go?
Bitterness becomes a way of life
(Loss loss)
Innocence can only last a little while
Have you
Lost your way?
We're making progress
We're making friends
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 it sleep for a while
(Loss loss)
Bitterness is a way of life
