who knew the world was like this?
full of evil and brokenness?

love is much deeper than we sought to be,
there is more evil around us than we thought.

the children are so innocent
of what's to come

their valves wouldn't break
but their minds would.

their heart would keep thump,                                      
thump           ­           
thumping

but-

what about their innocence?
one day,
they would fall in love

and the passion would bring them so high,

trusting the other so much that,

when they let go,

they would

f       
a    
l  
l.

and it would hurt like crazy, because they didnt know-
that the world was like this.

to them,
love is sweet,
is constant sweet,
was sweet.

but it is rancour, filling us with evil and hate,
and the children,
once innocent,

would become one of us.
