Childhood Secrets and Small Town Dreams
Childhood secrets and small town dreams...
 I wish for my innocence
 to run back to me.
 
 
 
 I've witnessed so much, 
 And went through it too.
 You wouldn't believe 
 That it can ever be true.
 
 
 Forced to see 
 But not wanting to look.
 What has become of me?
 What's the hook?
 
 
 No more dreaming!
 Secrets don't exist!
 There is just so much to cross off my list.
 
 I wish for you not to let go of anything you have.
 
 
 You grab the glistening gun 
 As it shines in the light 
 Like the stars in the sky 
 That shines so bright.
 You seemed to have aimed.
 The trigger is pulled back.
 
 
 Bang!
 Did you hear the gun kill?
 My innocence has died.
 Ignorance is bliss
 That I have seemed to lost.
 
 
 Drip.
 Is the faucet in 
 The room running?
 I listen closer and
 I hear your voice.
 Your lies are spilling like water
 from your lips unto mine with each kiss.
 
 
 Nothing is the same now.
 You know but you still try.
 Think back now.
 There's nothing you can hide.
 
 
 You could have stopped this from happening,
 But it wasn't worth your time.
 I felt the same way.
 
 What you did was murder.
 It was also my worst crime.
 
 
 Whoosh!
 Time flew by like the birds in the sky.
 Everything happens so fast.
 I look to the sky, 
 I see the stars shining brightly 
 As I seem to get closer to them.
 
 
 I do forgive but the hardest is to forget.
 But don't let them use your vulnerability
 To see how far they can get.
 
 
 Now my last words to keep are in our sight 
 Keep your mind clear of them.
 Stay away from your past,
 so you can keep
 Everything that you may seek.
