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
