Age will steal away the snowy mountains and create crevices
Cracks of worry and streams of betrayal.
Time will snatch away innocence and midnight kisses
Knowledge that seeks to poison the wide eyes of a child, open and willing.
Curiosity will kill the soul of pure love
the curves of another too great a temptation to resist.
Ignorance will corrupt trust slowly
until a single glance is all that is needed.
Beauty will fade into nothing
a concept created as a foolish child play
until he's not yours
but theirs.
