Reminders

Sweet beauty
So soft and innocent
Please remind me
What it’s like
To be loved once more

Beautiful child
So free and careless
Please remind me
What it’s like
To be a child once more

Gentle angel
So sharp and deadly
Please remind me
What it’s like
To be that way once more

Oh harsh lover
Unfulfilled and willing
Please remind me
What it’s like
To be cared for once more

An ode to death
So dark and sinful
Please remind me
What it’s like
To live without hope once more

Reminders
So blunt and harsh
Please don’t let me forget
Who I am
And where I’ve been
