Innocent Love

Self-loathing love poem written during a troubling time. (11/2005)

Turn your eyes away

Cast not your sight upon me

There is an evil moon

Rising in my heart

As all hope

Is setting on my soul

Please do not witness

This my demise

Do not allow me to corrupt

The love that you harbor inside

These walls of hate that bind me

Cannot be breached;

And when all eyes are upon you

There’s no place for you to hide

Quick, hold me in the blink of the shadow

A fast embrace before the fasting of my love

Close your eyes

Close your eyes and remember our happiest time

Smile as if you are reliving that day

Let me remember you this way

You my innocent love
