Innocence

If only innocence could be packaged,
then maybe this world would still shine.
What if the dark just... went away,
then maybe... somewhere... you'd still be mine.

What if... no, that's too soon mention!
As harsh as these memories seem...
maybe I'm just... floating in silence.
A portion of midnight. A flickering dream.

I crave for some life... just a glimmer...
maybe a piece of shrapnel... in my heart.
But if I am honest... maybe just this once...
maybe God will let my soul depart.

Oh, if only innocence could be bottled...
Then maybe you would still be here.
But dreams and wishes never come true.
Not stopped in a bottle. Not shed in a tear...
