The Woman in The Little Girl
Her innocence was snatched away as if she were being robbed
And she was…
The quietness of the empty home was so loud now that it was gone
How she wished she were innocent again
Before she was unknowingly exposed to reality
Before she could even say goodbye to her past her
Her innocence slammed the door in her face
Before she realized..
The sun was shining upon her face yet exposing her secrets
Her innocence was consumed
deceit , manipulation, lies, humiliation
The cares of the cruel world strangled her innocence
And it died..
I fell in love with you after you died
I tried to catch you but you were so persuasive as you left
I was sure that you would come back for me
Yet I knew you were never coming back
caressing my skin as you slipped through my fingers
No one remembered your existence
My innocence
I tried to replace you
So I placed me
In the hands of someone else
Those same hands that slipped under my blouse at night
I screamed for you my innocence
Who
No one remembered you
Before I realized
That once innocent girl was now a woman
A woman with nothing
That once innocent girl gave everything to everyone she encountered
But saved nothing for the woman she was becoming
The first trust she gave laughed at her
The second mocked her
The third threw it back in her face
In the beginning I thought that little girl was a coward
Afraid to fight back when life was beating her
But the woman in her realized
She was fighting for something greater
She was in the battlefield with her identity
That was stolen from her
Now she has realized
My innocence had to die for the woman in me to live.
