From Eden

From Eden

A Poem by Natehy
"

A troubled past that caused me some sadness. I wanted to share, so I hope this doesn't bother you. I hope you enjoy.

"
I am from Eden and
The innocence I held close,
It was not lost, 
But it was stolen.

A lit candle and  
The only light in the dark. 
It sparked a memory when 
I was younger than noon. 

An abandoned house and 
The broken windows called. 
A sweet serenity that 
Was utterly distorted. 

I followed him and 
The flashing eruption of the sirens 
Grabbed my attention.
It screamed a fair warning. 

The glass gave me cuts and
He gave me a scar. 
While I watched the flickering red lights 
I cried in silence. 

I am from Eden and 
The innocence I held close, 
It was not lost, 
But it was stolen.

it sunk in for sure. This is only an interpretation, when we are young we remember Eden how we want to remember it. the idea of being stolen from Eden represents some accountability issues (again just my take). The Poem either way stirs up great thought and thick emotion. good.

I'm glad you liked it!
when innocence is stolen it leaves a permanent scar
but you have to rise above it or it will dictate your life,it is him that should carry the scar

Everyone is born innocent but not everyone dies as one.
This poem sure reflects that fact although I sense regrets here. It is very well-written.

"A lit candle and
The only light in the dark.
It sparked a memory when
I was younger than noon."

I especially liked this stanza! Good work☺👍
