I Smashed Those Days Of Innocence

Dust infected memories
But there was a time
In the summer heat
When your tongue filled my mouth

Shape intersected vanities
A million heartbeats
Synthesized into one
By the smoothness of your caress

I did not believe in angels
Until I flew on your wings
And the rancid city did not matter
It was only concrete beneath my boots

I smashed those days of innocence
Destroyed a dozen dreams
As youth ripened into life
Trying not to believe the lies

The softness of paradise
Under her careful gaze
Remnants of a lost addiction
Beginning to take hold

Ignore judgment
Throw it all to the wind
As the moment cascades around us
With eternal finality
