The End of Innocence

by Twan - Aries

Believed, I did, in you and I
Ozzy sings the words but you only sigh
Hope to hell I'll never come this way
again, or at least until the next day

Smoke gets in your eyes, and thoughts in your mind
And that cutie by the door leaves your logic in a bind
I went to California, finally, and gave
but I got no response, and returned to my cave
Innocence blown, lost in my world
A banner I see, in front of me unfurled
Can you see what I am, finally unblocked
Luminous my eyes, a secret unlocked
Shoulders back, eyes up, I cross over into adulthood
Don't tell me any more, its not all good

So innocent, so young (You're just a baby!)
But can we still get together (I don't know, maybe)
21 years, and I walked into a club
And was not so much invisible as I was a bush or a shrub
Nothing happens in a vacuum, nowhere you can hide
Because many things have destroyed me, most of all my pride
I like them feminine, just a little bit older
but that doesn't mean a thing, not the slightest bit bolder
Look at me, see once and for all
The withering glance I drop upon you, doesn't cast a pall

And now we will cease, I have become
much less carefree, a little too glum
Will I return to your side? As your sidekick, maybe more 
But I'm the kind of person, I never was before.

Reason for writing:

    Thank god Cyberpages is back. Welcome back, all
