Forrest of Innocence

by Simply Complex   Jul 24, 2006


Remember the woods that held our memories?
Remember the tree where you stuck your sketches?
Remember the river that caught our tears as we cried?
Remember the day when we hid everything away?
And closed the door to those memories?

We promised never to go back
We promised we had moved on
We promised to bury the key deep inside out hearts and souls
And never to release it no matter what the pain.

One day we went back
Dug up the key
To our childhood home
And found our special tree

We sat by the river
And cried out our tears
Ran up to the cliff
And we opened the box
Of past pains and memories

Out came the sketch
Of the boy you once loved
And out came the locket
That belonged to a long gone friend

Back now we sit
And slowly we cry
As the memories over whelm us
And slowly we die

We left our forest
With its magical ways
For our pain had intoxicated it
And it was starting to die

We locked it up
so what was left would be saved
For other young children
In need of a haven

But upon our return
The poison of pain grew
Deep into our bones it soaked
Pierced our hearts like knives

We held onto each other as close friends do
As together we died
In the place we were born
And out memories were left
Tears crashing around them
As one lover stood
Looking on with pain
As he saw his two girls
Die from their past pain

(This might not make sense to anyone but my sister Kas...lol me nd here had this place we used to go to...and then we stopped visiting it for certain reasons...if u ever had aplce u went to just to cry...and then u decided it was time to stop being childish...and u just basically hid ur pain fom the world..it might make a lil more sense...lol if u want an explanation jus comment me asking and i'll post it...)
