Innocent

Sometimes its hard to recognise

The one who comes into your life

Telling lies

To bring you undone

Especially when the cold and dark of ongoing winter

Seems endless

And there you are

Longing for just a touch of light

A taste of spring

There are some things

A trusting heart may not be wary of

Longing as it is for someone to hear

The desires you kept

Buried so deeply inside

There is another winter that will come

As illusions break

Your heart wide open again

To the flood

But do not give up hope

For the world is not only fully of liars

Its just you had for this particular time

To burn upon the funeral pyre

Of yourself

To wake up to the truth

That life is not always

So innocent
