Title: Remember Innocence?
Remember innocence?
When pain didn't exist
Where naivety was the king
And you had no dirty thoughts in mind
Remember childhood?
When we were angels
Where no child picked friends on looks
And there was not a single care in the world
We lost it all, lost it all
Innocence passed away
With every second of each day
We're not the same, not the same
Our hearts became cold
As age kicked in
Friends become enemies
And enemies become friends
Popularity is now the king
And deception is its queen
Do you remember innocence?
I do not
Do you remember childhood?
I've nearly forgot
A time when love
Was only reserved for guardians
No longer exists
Heartbreak, broken dreams
Misused tears
Remember innocence?

Saturday night, every week,
This is where we'd meet,
On this baron parking lot,
We'd live,love, and cheat.
Here we would
And, It Didn't Matter
I woke up startled and afraid
of a pattering noise.
But I soon came to realize
rain was merely falling
by Tom Zart
I REMEMBER
I remember the house where I was born
With its paint peeling off and its screens all torn.
Behind our back fence
