Loss

Loss

A hopeless romantic that am I
Or was
Innocence will be lost with every step
It is not sudden
Occurs with given
Once wrapped in its arms
With hope
Happiness to my grieving mind and burdened spirits
But no more
For this world is not what my mind envisioned
This veil dropped from my eyes
Wants are not to carry thy hope
Needs shall be met in other ways
Ways in which no one can see
I need to let go of my desire
Of my ideals
My values of love I once had
For that will only bring emptiness
And un-fulfillment in this heart
