Where once
Friday, September 22, 2006
Where once abundance of innocence resided,
silliness and desires now replace thus.
Where once parents seemed only a few steps away,
their presence we cannot stand even just a phone call away.
Where once happiness was intended to build for others,
happiness is now built upon others.
Where once a simple toy could last us a week,
a music player can only last us a couple of months.
Where once we are filled with angelic hearts,
demons have ran their rule upon us.
Where once love is without desires,
contemporary sexuality strays us from the true path.
Where once we believed in forever,
reality breeds temporariness.
Where once life was so much simpler,
complexities reside now in simplicities.
Where once we did not give a damn to how we looked,
dressing up becomes a way of deceiving.
Where once I could tell that you are my friend,
your face behind a facade I can't comprehend now.
Where once love was about joy,
love becomes a responsibility.
Where once I could dream of becoming everything I want,
my life is shaped by my inadequencies.
Where once I could turn to everyone,
I can only turn here now.
Where once I knew a real smile,
now I can't even understand you.
Where once we said we must,
now you say you might.
