Innocence
February 5, 2014
Listen for a child's laugh,
Just a touch of innocence.
She'd never see it coming,
She'll see the world for what it is.
A little heart that's just too trusting,
For being as alone as she is.
And she'll cry because she barely understands,
How do you get up and walk again?
Get out of the clutches of the thief.
But she's too scared, doesn't know how to leave.
Is it better left unopened, unsaid,
And how do you even get the power to stand?
When you're forced to grow up more in a minute,
Then you will for the rest of your life.
