Honest

Folder: 
innocence

The streets are empty

and i walk alone

near the old houses

which seem to scream and moan

I look at my reflection

and it looks back at me

The storm is behind the curtain

yet it is only clouds that I see

The city watches as the people

That walk the streets at night  

waiting for someone out there

to show them the nonexistent light

But the frightened children

who are afraid to learn the truth

remain under the curtains

and hide behind the youth

but maturity will come and seek them

and reality consumes the fear

But all thats left is suffering

and the death that lingers near

i watch the flowers rise

to their final bloom

under the city lights

darkness will come soon.
