Challenge # 147: Quotes
Title: Innocence
Author: frantic_quest
And the Condom Goes To: Brian
The scarf slides through my fingers, so pale and beautiful.
When I saw it in the store I craved it.
It was the color of innocence, something I have not been for a very long time.
Yet innocence is something that attracts me.
I find it in the pure love I glimpse in my son’s eyes, and in white-blond hair that appeared to shine in a streetlamp’s glow.
I destroy innocence too.
It’s only a matter of time before disillusion replaces adoration in both sets of eyes.
Try as I might, I can’t think of anything to stop it.
