Innocence

Naïveté was his first look

But people didn’t know him.

They didn’t know that deep inside he was innocent as the stars

That although beneath the bad boy, his love fathomed the seas.

They didn’t see him as the person he had wanted to be.

Maybe it was the venom of words that stung him.

No one knew his story; his emotional loss.

The fact that he had loved someone deeply and she had so soon perished.

No one knew he was alone.

How lonely he felt when she had left.

Darling,

Let love in.

Let him love again.

Stop haunting his heart.
