when i see myself as a villain

innocence like a cliche
we expunge it
lust and greed are omnipresent
what happened to what was so good?

she seems so fragile
and beautiful
i would hate to mess this up
something so pure
   so dear
 so near

and as she sings sweetly
i wonder if i should take this from her
because the future is so unsure
   and dangerous
 so hard


...

maybe just a kiss?
