Innocence
a dirty, rusted blade stabs me
like smearing feces on a newborn baby
my fragile teddy bear shatters
as nonsensical words and lights scatter
my memory fades away
as the crimson surrounds me
as this experience fades away
i just wanted to say,
that although this pain is temporary
my story is not finished.
