Lay me down tonight. <br />Don't mourn for my passing. <br />I sold my soul to evade the light, <br />There's nothing left worth redeeming. <br /> <br />I remember a time, <br />Smiling child, picture of perfection. <br />In joyous resplendence, you danced. <br />Born in day, <br />But even your light wasted away. <br /> <br />Lay me to rest tonight. <br />Don't weep for my losses, <br />I sold my heart to escape the pain, <br />There's nothing left of me to save. <br /> <br />I remember a time, <br />Foolish child, see what befalls the flawed? <br />In the absence of light, you changed. <br />Born in day, <br />But reality eroded your heart away. <br /> <br />Hide me away tonight. <br />Don't beg for my forgiveness, <br />I took my life to escape from you, <br />Theres nothing left of me <br />Tonight.<br /><br />Raven Keller<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/innocence-dies/
