Life can be lost

in fragments of love.

Hearts find their ache,

wish for peace

in our soul

believing it true.

Once upon a time

is an easy outlet

for finding a chance

memory to define

our worth in the eyes

of one we still love.

Aren’t all of us

compelled to seek out

what it is we believe

gives hope in our world.

I found truth one day,

and though it evaded me

my faith did allow innocence

to remain in sweet sway.
