What We Lost In Passing Poem by Witch Baby

Hands that held
Laughter that filled every corner
What happened to that innocence?
The time when the whole world
Was your playground
And everyone
Was your friend

We lost it in passing
When dreams shattered
And reality walked in
And slapped you across the face
When love that saved you
Broke you apart
And left you alone

We forgot about tenderness
Passion and emotion
Forgivness and compassion
Dreams and ideas
Beliefs and possibility
We lost it all
In passing
