When Childhood Would Last Forever

best song I've written in a while

When Childhood Would Last Forever

When we were just five years old

We carried the world in our hands

Nothing left to figure out

Nothing left to understand

Everything made sense back then

 

But then the universe spun suddenly

And our hearts broke apart

With reality slapping our faces

We were left right back at the start

What happened to all of our innocent works of art

 

You’ll never have friends

Like the ones when you were five

When your naivety wasn’t yet

Stabbed through with a jagged knife

When decisions weren’t a puzzle missing every piece

When you were the master in life

Not one grey teardrop spilling from your eye

Everything either black or white

When you knew everything every day and night

 

You’ll remember they’re names

Even if they’re smile blurs and fades

The playground wars, the cookie parties

All of the memories that you made

 

When the real world had no hold on you

And your friends swore they’d stay

Never knowing how far apart you grew

With every aging day

 

You’ll never have friends

Like the ones when you were five

When your naivety wasn’t yet

Stabbed through with a jagged knife

When decisions weren’t a puzzle missing every piece

When you were the master in life

Not one grey teardrop spilling from your eye

Everything either black or white

When you knew everything every day and night

 

So take one day to reminisce

When you were five years old

Remember when you thought you were made of gold

When your mom and dad were king and queen

And you were a princess in your kingdom home

 

When childhood would last forever

And your toys came to life

When right and wrong were for the better

And Santa Claus was real with all your might

 

You’ll never have friends

Like the ones when you were five

When your naivety wasn’t yet

Stabbed through with a jagged knife

When decisions weren’t a puzzle missing every piece

When you were the master in life

Not one grey teardrop spilling from your eye

Everything either black or white

When you knew everything every day and night

I personally think this is my best song, but what do you think?

I personally think this is your best song as well.
It's so refreshing to read a poem such as this-- thought provoking. Well, more than that. A remembrance I suppose.
Either way or both ways, I love it.

Anytime, Rachel =]

Agreed... childhood doesn't last though you wish it would: purity veiled eyes, naptime, holding hands to cross the street, all the embarressing yet joyful times will be missed. Love this sweet honest description and lyrical tune. Black or white not grey, personal piece indeed ;)

[RachelReaper]

thank you for your review :)

[Castonovia]

This is my favorite! :) I always wish I were five again, so I could get away from drama and stress. But great poem! 100/100 :D

I love this. It flowed so well and created an amazing image! It has so much truth that almost anyone can relate to one part or another. Those are the best songs, the ones that you can relate to. This was beautiful!
