end of innocence

she ran so free, so happy and wild
she was so smart, and only a child
she was short with hair flowing long
she saw the good, and nothing was wrong

she was dying , her parents knew
she was fading, there was nothing they could do

time threatened to take her away
a little piece faded every day
no longer wanting to sing and play
like a corpse in the dirt, she would decay

years go by, she won't last
she is growing, forgetting her past
she is dying , and her parents know
they see her fading, fading so slow

the old her is gone, there is something new
the old her was dead , and she knew
for her the old didnt make any sense
it was time for the end, the end of innocence
