trying to remember

[elion_g]

Achtung

In your innocent eyes,

I am innocence;

I am purity, to cherish and

admire.

In your innocent eyes,

I am a crystal,

perfect and pure, scattering

Rainbow reflections of light.

But I fear

that if you hold me, I will break---

I will wound you;

your blood will stain my clarity.
