Innocence

She’d been there with me
Since the day I was born,
She was my best friend,
Who always shielded me from the world.

But as the years went by
We gradually lost touch,
Soon I realized,
I didn’t want her in my life anymore.
I tried to distance myself from her.

Knowledge,
Is both; a blessing and a curse.
Only when she was gone,
Did I realize all
That she had shielded me from.
The horrors of the world,
Dark and Endless.

Never have I missed her more.
