Innocence Dies Poem by Raven Keller
Innocence Dies
Lay me down tonight.
Don't mourn for my passing.
I sold my soul to evade the light,
There's nothing left worth redeeming.
I remember a time,
Smiling child, picture of perfection.
In joyous resplendence, you danced.
Born in day,
But even your light wasted away.
Lay me to rest tonight.
Don't weep for my losses,
I sold my heart to escape the pain,
There's nothing left of me to save.
I remember a time,
Foolish child, see what befalls the flawed?
In the absence of light, you changed.
Born in day,
But reality eroded your heart away.
Hide me away tonight.
Don't beg for my forgiveness,
I took my life to escape from you,
Theres nothing left of me
Tonight.

Dear Raven, Listen to Holly's advice. Don't be too hard on yourself. I could only dream of writing that well at 15. In fact, I was composing song lyrics early on then advanced to the next level. It will all come in time, trust me. When you decide to send to any publishers be selective; try the small presses first and ensure your material is what they are seeking. Wished I had known when I began. I still get a high rejection rate with the major presses. Resplendence...now that's a bit of alright...didn't come across that one until my early 20's. Hang in there!
