Innocence Lost (reformatted)
If I would stop
and let my body rest,
My tears would
only thunder
innocence lost,
With my mind
plundering the confusion,
and intense sadness;
A beast un-blessed
by any human heart,
And if I opened
and let the victims run,
Would they?
Or would they
only stand
and guess the thought,
In my innocence found,
I would only cry,
And let them
tear the heavens apart.

Would they?
Or would they

and guess the thought,
In my innocence found,
I would only cry,
And let them
tear the heavens apart.

I guess we're all
each others
victims...
but at the same
time we are
all innocent..:)

There's nothing like a good piece of equality to shove up the ass of the past, and only writing about it is as real, and as good as it gets. Not that the past was unreal. Never bitter - that's the trick.

you need to release them to let them sink into the ground & be no more....never forgetting them but no longer letting them dictate any though or action of your life...
