When is Innocence lost?

When you give up what you believe in?

When you lose the last shred of your childhood?

When you let lust get in the way of finding love?

When you let one kiss go too far?

These questions.... Have no answer.

Innocence is neither obtained nor lost.

Because innocence is non-existent.

We are all pawns in this game called life.

No one being is pure.

We all have evil streaming within our blood.

Some... Spend their whole lives acting

as though innocence consumes their being

and the rest of us embrace out imperfections.

Realizing the innocence is unobtainable.

Innocence... Neither obtained, or lost.
