Youthful Loss

Forever I long to see your face 
Full in it's youthful loss
The good, the bad, the right, the wrong
The rawness of your fragile soul
As a little child I saw those innocent eyes
Just like clouds releasing anxiety in cool 
rain nurturing the earth 
The soulful bliss encompassed in your smile 
nursing me in my down days
destroying the shades of grays
Across the field the shadows fell and all 
alone I screamed and yelled
For what was just and what was right eluded 
us this faithful night 
Against the evils that vials our eyes 
We fought to keep ourselves alive
Till one day we lost sight of us
And couldn't sustain our painful lust
the lost of you the lost of me 
It's all the same, Don't you see
