The Failed Innocence
Death stalks the day
as life haunts the night
You must choose a way
to stand in the fight
There is no serenity
it must be the lies
Corrupt with vanity
and all good dies
You see a caged beast
it has come to be its turn
Unleash it to begin the feast
and watch the world crash and burn
Little one don't be scared
don't cringe and hide
No one would've cared
if you had suffered and died
It is too late
for you to live
It was your fate
to have nothing to give
There's no happily ever after
nor blissful things
Just a trickster's laughter
and broken wings.
