Death of Innocence

by Ravinder Malhotra

He wrote her name in innocence

On the mirror in the steam

Wishing, praying it would stay

It faded like a dream

Etched then he, his loving heart

On the bark of a tree

With cupids arrow piercing it

To last eternity

But naive was he to believe

In tales of immortal love

Of souls sent here to unite

From heavens up above

No words offered comfort

As truth took its toll

Bleeding died his innocence

Crippled lives his soul
