Death and Rebirth: All shades of love

Change

When I was young, I was kind

Even naive,

When I was young, I was gullible,

So easy to deceive,

When I was young, I was a dreamer

Always believed in human kind,

When I was young, I used to be generous,

Always doing good deeds...

When I was young, I used to feel inadequate,

Unworthy of being loved,

So, if someone hugged me, I was thrilled

If someone kissed me, I blushed,

If someone asked how my day had been I got excited,

So needless to say, that when someone told me I was cute,

I fell for him, as if I was a rock thrown to a pond,

A tiny asteroid orbiting a planet...

And I gave my whole to the wrong person,

Offered the sanity of my skin to his hands,

An obedient lamb sacrificed on a pyre,

Let my value rot on a bed,

Stained with so many souls,

Reduced to ashes when sweetness wilted...

I once was young and believed in love was timeless,

But was ambushed and used,

Just one more pawn on his chess board,

And then I loved again,

But totally differently,

Always one foot on the ground,

Never to the fullest.
