Lost Your Innocence

The world will turn without you and life will go on

Been that way since the beginning of dawn

The rain is dancing upon my lawn

The propaganda news just makes me yawn,

They say love is free but you’ll pay a high price

Heartbreak is real don’t think twice

From your life love just took another slice

Thinking back now her eyes were as cold as ice,

So it appears another page will turn

The realization we've all been burned

All those bitter lessons you had to learn

From being in love to being easily spurned,

Trying to hold on to this slippery existence

You must hang on with such persistence

Sometimes it seems that there’s so much resistance

Now you’re viewing your life from a distance,

Love has become an inescapable drought

After she tears your heart out

Seems there’s nothing else to care about

Won’t do any good to scream and shout,

Still the world turns and life goes on

And you might feel like a chessboard pawn

It seems that all hope is gone

Here you sit waiting for next Black Swan,

Some will say be thankful for the experience

While others will say should have done your due diligence

You’ll have to forget about her perfume fragrance

And admit that you lost your innocence.
