#lostinnocence
the innocence of eyes, lost in the gaze of time— innocent; don’t call my bluff when i don’t pick up. dropped my id on the floor; left my name there too— all of you worship icons, applying their lessons, pressing on people like icons on a screen. wearing heavy armour by night; heavy burdens— but dead is the knight. a mute song only the deaf can hear; hoofs beating nearby while i wore devil horns pretending innocence; a halo stuffed in my pocket right after greeting someone hello. slithering through lies— not worms, just people. while those who undermine you end up under the hoofs, gone; just like our innocence, when we all performed, for people who never had any at all.

Devil Horns & Halos
Hey, I’m still here Laying cold and bare While you stress and obsess over your progress As you pull out your own hair Every year I hope you reappear My Dear Years ago you would run into my arms Hugging me as you ran downstairs I was there when you thought your pretty paintings weren’t good enough for the castle you were placed upon I tried to help you, but you drowned me like a solemn swan No longer wanting to hear my song But deep inside I know there is a part of you that still cares Even through your intense despair and emotional affairs One part a child whose innocent tears were stopped at the gates of hell The other, a selfish singer whose words only ended in broken bitter bottles and blurry bleeding beers A cheerful child playing with her childhood toy Now carelessly getting her heart broken by a boy who didn’t see her as a person but just a toy. I warned you my friend That he would be your end But you couldn’t comprehend With my broken limbs and laced lips We were once one in the same But now only saw each other every eclipse You were immune to love. I was immune to hate. A sun and a moon who only see each other at noon

Sun and Moon
Impure is what she's come to be Her hands are stained with her own blood She swallowed the venom you fed her She grasped it untill her mouth flood Like a vicious tumor, She let it invade her body She tried to numb the pain Yet her hands were still ****** She let you **** the life out of her veins And within her ribcage, dig a hole In which a rotten heart remained, In the place where there once was The purest lilly of them all Now she's just an empty shell Of a departed soul

"Devourer of Innocence"
Uncle Charlie don’t you see, that little girl back there was me? Filled with happiness and light, no one ever brave enough to bite. Day after day, and night after night… She became lonely and would lay in the golden hay. She loved, but never found rest. All the boys wanted her for her ******* She felt useless and soon became ruthless. Now, Uncle Charlie, do you see how that little girl back there used to be me?

Uncle Charlie
We drove to wild poppy fields, Lost and open under the sun, To picnic in solemn, spent wonder, And celebrate new found love. Gentle rain came blowing in— The sky painted a clouded mood, And old mist rose in lighted heat A gentle sheet of covering dark. We then broke down to take leave, Our lent time was now dead— There under the cathedral of sun, Our love smoked in poppyhead.
