The music of another world...

The end of innocence could have been a deliberate parting

For not wanting to lie dead in a sea of eyes that look

But lips that refuse to talk

Why do you mourn then?

Coming of age could have been a shattering

Of all that I thought, held everything together-

The essential goodness of ‘us’

Why do you rejoice then?

Why do you ask me if these words are happy or sad?

Words often get drained in the music

And the music will be someone else’s

reminds me of how earlier whenever I used to write abt things that disturbed me, a typical reaction would always be- is it worth it? or why are you giving yourself so much unhappiness etc.End of innocence...deliberate or not...but once you start seeig things a certain way, even if it makes you unhappy or disturbes you, you know youd rather be this way than any other.
