innocence lost

when you were in it it just was and when it started to leave you wept and you thought you wept for the place but you didn't you wept for what was ignorance of the things that never were lost for the negative space of your world found a silent goodbye to the part of yourself that trusted that where you were was a beautiful place always a beautiful place. and you resisted the guilt, the cognizant thinking the inexplicable summer sadness the unbearable uncertainty and dreaded impermanence that came with the repressed and bottled message you threw adrift in your brain sea never to be found by a living thing.
