I was Innocent
2002 - Acrylic on Canvas; 8" x 10"
I shed tears
for the child that slipped away
for the childhood that never was
for the adult that that could have been
for the innocence that was dirtied
for the sadness that never left
for the loneliness that persists
for the future that might be lost
- poem and painting created during a sad, dark time when I felt no hope and could see no light at the end of the tunnel.
