Innocent (2-18-04)
Linkage Action
As I sit down beside her,
Hidden underneath the headphones,
What surrounds her seems to vanish,
At least that was the plan.
Lost behind her beauty
Laid a past not so perfect,
A heart with a growing hole,
A mind worn from sleepless nights,
And yet her halo never faded.
I can feel the fire inside
Destroying what is left
Of her innocent soul.
Then I grab her cold hands,
She finally sees who I am,
And tears start to roll down,
Calming the flames of her pain
That she has carried for too long.
