The Place of Innocents
Drip drop
Clink clank
There goes the water of sin and frustration
The coins of hope and faith
It takes more to believe than see
Children giggling, bursting with curiosity and innocent imagination.
They toss everything they have to give.
Wishes of empty believes of fulfilment
Within their sparkling eyes
Children turn thosedank waters into glittering blue
They make everything look simple and happy
They stand proud with their friends and family looking forward whilst wondering i stand on the other side
Trying to trust
Trying to see
Trying to think of some better place
A place where all of your wildest wishes come true
Then im back
Back on ground
Which crunches under my feet
I’m brought back to embarrasement and shame
What am I doing here
Why does it make me feel this way going before everyone finds out
Finds out how I got here
Finds out the belief and time I’ve put into it
I dont want them knowing
They can never know
The temtations of the wishing well
