I Know I'm Not The Only One

I know I am not the only one who gets surges of guilt or longing for when you were unaware of all the things in the world. This is really short, simple, and like Poe's lost lover in the Raven I regret to hear that somethings can never be returned.

Please do not steal or copy my work.

I crave innocence.

I want to be in ecstasy when someone takes my hand,

When I’m given a smile from across a crowded room,

When he tells me I’m pretty with a blush upon his face.

There is fear riding in my chest

And he tells me that it will never be through clenched teeth-

Quotas the raven

Nevermore.
