another year has passed now <br />another cause for something to begin <br />and you could sense it on our skin <br />a strange and somehow cold desire... <br />to be the best one <br />to be brave and rise above them <br />but at the same time try to love them <br />friends are dust, but lovers are fire <br /> <br />as we made contact <br />a rushing sound grew steady <br />for something new we all were ready <br />and it made me melt inside... <br />we didn't know then <br />how this experiment would turn out <br />that every single heart would burn out <br />something innocent has died <br /> <br />what will they find here? <br />pieces of the shattered glass <br />traces of our scattered pasts <br />secrets that were never told... <br />will the message get through? <br />all that remains is our lies <br />seen only by our searching eyes <br />as empty as the souls they hold <br /> <br />now nothing matters <br />the details that we won't remember <br />echo into last December <br />trapped in my dissolving thoughts... <br />I can't escape this <br />this new and frightening sensation <br />love's most recent connotation <br />something innocent is lost<br /><br />Jade Leven<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/something-innocent/
