An Elegy to My Innocence (incomplete)

It glittered like gold,

Amidst the crowd.

It encaptured their attention,

That is now covered in shroud.

These words I write,

To pay my respect.

To one that resided in me,

That is now a dead object.

Though, love still resides here,

Not a bit of insolence.

Yet you ripped my heart off,

Of its natural innocence.

I am now a member of this crowd,

Forever weary, forever sceptic.

A hole you dug in my heart,

And it has grown majestic.

Yet, there has come a sailor,

His heart is filled with love.

He wants to travel these frightening waters,

His spirit is pure as a dove.
