So full of hope
So happy and joyful
So unlike my own

Full of swimming emotion
Death and sorrow
Tainting the youthful look

I beg and plead
But never do they release
The tsunami of emotion

So happy and complete
That haggard gaze
That's never released
That youthful gaze
I will never have
Such hopeful eyes
Never to be seen
You laugh and smile
While I unable
The innocence
I may never have
