In a Long While

I’ve realize now

That my heart hardens

With age for once the

Sparkle of innocence

Flourished at one time

But years of heartbreak

And deceit have crushed

Something deep inside

What it was I wouldn’t know

All I know it was something that

I haven’t seen in a long time

Face titled to the sky I cry

For I might as well not try

Perhaps it is my time to die
