Innocence


An innocent teenage girl Without a care in the world Takes a simple wrong turn Into the hands of the unknown The flash of fear A silent shriek A plea for mercy From a heartless creep Shearing pain In both body and soul A blood curdling grip Held behind a rustle of leaves Innocence broken Stolen, forever betrayed The face of a stranger Will never fade away The pain of her body The bruises she wears Start to slowly fade But the damage will always remain Days and weeks go by She finally feels she will survive But the wand shows the truth Of how she is no longer alone She wonders how life can move inside A body that feels lifeless News that would fill a heart will joy Does nothing more than further destroy her Denial spreads Anger hits What did she do To deserve a fate such as this What could she do? Who could she tell? For the shame of these events Has forever muted her tongue She thinks of her possibilities But she knows her only way out Is that barbaric solution That which will terminate all The clean white office Fills her with dread She tries to hope That soon it will all end The deed has been done The guilt settling inside The dreaded realization Of what she has done The thoughts and feelings buzz inside Filling empty boy and empty mind Filling deeply, dark and sticky The hopelessness felt inside The wants the needs The fears the hates The fuels that feed The dreaded fate The unseen scares The murdered dreams The life lived and that unlived Is not one which many know The suffering, the pain Comes to a sudden end When the evil deep inside Overpowers that will to live
