The Loss Of Innocence
He had stole more than that...
You put your hand upon my mouth
And dared me to scream...
I closed my eyes and tried to pretend
This was all a dream..
When you finished
I sat there and cried..
Blood ran down my leg
And mommy thinks I lied..
She thinks i'm tainted
Like the apple Snow White had eaten..
I only prayed for my heart..
To just cease it's beating..
Because of him
My mind will never be whole
My innocence wasn't
The only thing he stole..
You put your hand upon my mouth
And dared me to scream...
I closed my eyes and tried to pretend
This was all a dream..
When you finished
I sat there and cried..
Blood ran down my leg
And mommy thinks I lied..
She thinks i'm tainted
Like the apple Snow White had eaten..
I only prayed for my heart..
To just cease it's beating..
Because of him
My mind will never be whole
My innocence wasn't
The only thing he stole..
Fake
Sat down on the Conner of my roof, grey day,
My mentum resting on the palm of my hands,
Thinker position, mind floating, loneliness,
ok And then I saw her, running out for happiness,
Going against the breezy day, the air, pushing
Her hair back toward the saddest place.
Me, wishing to be a dog, so I never went
There, long skirt down her knee, keeping
Her gallop toward fake. To feed its need.
Five days in a roll, the skirt was no longer
Long, getting short and short, love blind you
And make you dull. Mondays came,
I sat down On my balcony look at the educate place,
Waited for her, to come out of the school,
Long skirt, covered with a black long coat,
Red scarf, golden hair, walking slowly, dark-gray day
I ran up to the roof, sat down on it, hugging both of my knew,
Head down.
Standing up after a while, bird flying everywhere,
sun going down for a break. For a second just for second
she was gone.
Until I saw her again,
Stop and turned around,
turned her neck, sad view
Toward me, like she knew I was there,
blurred view, We both shared it,
4 seconds and then she left, never saw
Fake, but never will recover what he took from her.
Went down the school for the first time in 3 years,
After 4 days without seeing her, She changed location,
Went to a monastery school. Never knew her, never will
But I wish I could give her back, what she lost
innocence.

Lost;
He was so kind to me,
Told me all sorts of things,
Told me what I could be.
I'm bleeding from insecurity,
As his hands trail over my skin,
He told me I was everything he'd need.
I believed him so naively,
Followed that finger in the dark,
Let him destroy me completely.
He promised me a light,
Promised me a future,
A life with him so bright.
He washed on my shore,
I took pity on his soul,
I don't have that innocence anymore.
Then he took away my pearl,
And left nothing but an empty shell,
For everyone to see as the smoke unfurled.
I was called named because of him,
I was a sickening human to the world,
I've cut out emotions, all of them.
I was lost at sea,
By the hands of a man,
Who said he loved me.
He was so kind to me,
Told me all sorts of things,
Told me what I could be.

Damaged;
Dreaming comes so easy,
When it’s all you’ve ever known.
And I know it shouldn’t still hurt me,
When I realize I’m all alone.
Broken fairytales scattered on burned pages,
Across a dark bedroom’s floor.
Even lost in the dark I can’t forget this,
But I can no longer reach the door.
I have so much I didn’t say,
To a man who was stronger.
You took so much away,
And it’s not mine any longer.
I was just a little girl that you broke down,
Nice, naïve, and beautiful, you took advantage.
I’m dirty and damaged now,
What was your intended message?
I’m damaged now all because of you,
Nobody wants me and I’ve kept them all away.
I’m damaged now, but that you already knew,
Yet when we've come face to face, I can't find words to say.
I tremble and I cry,
And it's all because of you.
I just wish you'd disappear or die,
I don't know what I should do.
I'll keep running away,
Because it's all I've ever known.
An arm's length is where everyone will stay,
My emotions will not be shown...

"long road"
We followed our thirst
for adventure
to the far-off western roads
When we first stepped
our charisma fueled
a traverse through landscapes
swept away in its own amazement
Soon though,
as the seasons change
cold crept in
our bodies lost steam
and seeking warmth
enough for sleep we
laid with strangers
hoping to wake
with friends
Further along
we forgot about the lightness
to our leap,
and with feet more heavy
left tracks
everytime we fled
Now
with nearly hobbled
legs, burdened with the weight of the weary
we wonder where and if we have a home
Perhaps my dear,
that last break down
was at halfway point-
past turnaround
and we must
embrace this beat up wagon
for all its worth
going until, and if
it stops

::The Loss of Innocence::
http://th05.deviantart.net/fs37/PRE/f/2008/270/b/e/Lust_by_homarusrex.jpg
someone had said “fun & games”
lusty boys full o’ flames
setting their sights.. these insidious knights
working to embark upon their trek
while having none…NO respect
crossing over into insanity
these bottom-feeders of humanity
venturing into a kind of madness
a vicious sadness;
it was packed... all fact
their panorama of excitement
sure fodder for their indictment
out-of-pocket with their
residue of good times gone bad
again…so sad; the treachery
their lechery to be shared by one & all
the readiness, a willingness
wanting to have themselves a ball
lusty boys…serving their ill-will
yes she’d fit the bill
she hadn’t noticed their imbalance
how it had progressed right alongside with avarice
their ways & means thinking they to be the cleverest
from laughter to bullying rushing right into an even colder abuse
beasts on the loose having no excuse
soon enough…this she would learn
all of that she hadn’t earned
those lusty boys, they’d take their turn
taking their time; these swine so incredulous
how could they invest in this?
members swelled and by the whispers
one could tell this party would be different
tasked in being extra
above & beyond what contempt meant
NO contentment
someone saying “they’re just dames”
the fun & games; calling her by those misogynous names
names dripping from liquor stained breath
each vile syllable a slovenly made slur
the igniting of a testosterone blur
what she stood to lose they didn’t care
no patience nor mercy…and
no chance to change their mind
for the Last Time…
this was their fun and games
with someone again saying “yeah, they’re just dames”
this one, she being at the wrong place
being there at the wrong time
all done-in at her expense
and none of it happening happenstance
a loss of innocence
lusty boys with…girls as toys
swindlers
