Once he saw life with innocent eyes
That is how he looked at the world
He couldn’t see the pain around him
He was too young to comprehend heartache
He was too young to experience loneliness
He was too young to know disappointment
The world was still a beautiful place
When he saw it through innocent eyes
He no longer sees life with innocent eyes
They have been replaced with life’s pain
Instead he leads a life of desperation
Desperate to get back to the life he once knew
A life filled with true companionship
A life consumed with unquestioned love
A life cloaked with the familiar
The life only visible with innocent eyes
