Apology

Apology

Hello again my dear old friend,
I often think of you.
We used to be like sisters when
your secrets I once knew.

We'd hide away inside my room,
upon my princess bed.
All rosy cheeked, in lacey pink,
we'd dream with naive heads.

I vowed to be a harbor, safe
for feelings that we shared.
But somewhere on life's darkened seas
a storm was in the air.

Remember when I found new friends
and left you in the dark?
Your brilliance seemed to burst to black
as if a dying star.

It was a dirty shame, the way
our bond, so young, did end.
Throughout the years, I've tried to find
a way to make amends.

I miss you precious Innocence.
Here's my apology.
Between the pages of my mind,
I'll press your memory.
