As you wander through shadows
Ignite the haze with your illumination
The flakes of youth in your eyes dance and tease the darkness
Don't hide
I know you are scared of getting older
You are only good at being young
Your precious innocence will be stolen
Or spent
Or traded for cheap kisses that drip from candlelit chandeliers
Save it until the last moment
Your shining freshness
Sleep on flower petals and drink the morning dew
Until you can't smell the magic of it all
Love your skin and be selfish
Until years make you think of others first
And your skin wrinkles
Shimmer in the moonbeams of desire
Knowing you will never touch what you want most
Because as soon as you get close to it
You will want something else
Your purity is the dirtiest thing about you
Hold on to it as long as you can
