innocence lost~by Lilian Dipasupil Kunimasa

 

 

innocence lost

our youthful innocence 
the beauty of one’s dream essence 
to other’s eyes may not make sense 

it was real not a game 
to others it seems the same 
our reasons heard as lame 

but when in comes reality
gives tasks to one’s ability
straining the heart’s capacity

all our vows have been broken
all our hopes have been taken
left are memories of heaven

innocence lost to the future
forsaking past did we mature
is cynicsm time’s nature

now living in loneliness
those days of our playfulness
we look back with longingness
