Innocence

The euphoric age has now died
Memories burn where they once shone
The beauty of innocence
Left forgotten in a dying day

A kiss goodbye
The past has faded away
Love, inscribed deep in the wood
Romantic words streamed like blood

Trying to stare through the mists of the future
Erase the bliss that once was the past
Promises passed your lips with ease
Only to whither in time

My heart lost in the mire
Paint this face a shade of misery
