End of Innocence

Jaded perceptions
Childhood dreams
Looking at life
Thru rose colored glasses
Fantasies
Ideal means
Held up high
Idolized
Life lived in cystal bowls
Only to be shattered
By time
Winds blowing about
Changes
To all that once was
Known and believed
Innocent desires
At a glance seem light
Now tainted shades of
Grey
Defiled dreams
Blemished reveries
Stolen thoughts
Unfaithful youth
Destroyed enchantment
Childhood lost
