The fallen
wrinkles all around the faces of time
can't run back to youth there is no rewind
their ignorance was bliss but got burnt by this
unavoidable truth they can't perish it
on the streets seeing the hearts of the fallen
the walls they put up for every lamenting reason
their purity that is now contaminated
the delicate part which was once stomped on and forgotten
they won't let fire in
sealing everything inside nothing leaking
for them to remmeber not to make the same mistake again
not to feel the scorching pain which once was left there
burying their heart not to feel anything
cause the love they say is not worth the suffering
can't run back to youth there is no rewind
their ignorance was bliss but got burnt by this
unavoidable truth they can't perish it
on the streets seeing the hearts of the fallen
the walls they put up for every lamenting reason
their purity that is now contaminated
the delicate part which was once stomped on and forgotten
they won't let fire in
sealing everything inside nothing leaking
for them to remmeber not to make the same mistake again
not to feel the scorching pain which once was left there
burying their heart not to feel anything
cause the love they say is not worth the suffering

Wonderful, wonderful! The image of a city and love like a danger that threatens it stability. Certain to the human experience of love. It is not always efficient, but because of common thought, it is still perceived as better and glorious than any forced isolation.. You described this conflict well. I favorite line was: "They won't let the fire in." It expresses their view honestly. Then, there is a great twist in the end. We see that this monster that they are trying to escape is love. We all try to do so sometimes as well. Thank you for transparently showing us how big of an issue we make love sometimes. It's ironic when we think of love as tender, but it's also very accurate when we feel how love makes us to suffer. LIKE!
