Innocence Lost

what happened to my innocence?
i could have sworn it was here...
it promised never to leave...
it promised to hold me forever...
it was never to leave my side!
and then there was a new thing within...
a sparkling light so bright,
my innocence was forgotten,
i left it's side,
i went to see this new light so bright,
i was overjoyed and ecstatic with wonder and delight,
till the day the light was snuffed...
the darkness dropped upon me at once...
it gathered me and worked me over,
shaping and remolding the emptiness......
the innocence had ran away,
i was distracted and it ran so far...
i cry in the darkness for the innocence,
i want for it so badly,
my heart is no longer bright without it...
the lights, so dim come and go now,
sometimes i hardly notice anymore,
it's just myself and the darkness,
it's just terror and loneliness.....
