Ignorance is bliss Until the taste of that first kiss. The veil of innocence is lifted. The tides of our lives are shifted. From that moment on With each effort that has failed, With each bright beginning that has paled With every truth revealed Every lie concealed Our souls become more jaded Until all hope and joy have faded. Every hollow hello and whispered goodbye Is another lesson learned. The other cheek is never turned. All our bridges have been burned. Lips have turned to ice. Hearts now made of stone. Windows to the soul So empty, lost and all alone. Each day becomes a chore. Life becomes an anchor And death but just a door. will that final kiss be as sweet As that first kiss so many years before is life worth living When you're the only one you're living for
