The innocense I should have known
- Was quietly ripped away
smothering all that was good
with out a word to say

One night in a darkened room
when I was very small
By a man who had my love
But was willing to risk it all.

He abused his authority
By misusing and twisting trust
How can a person do these things
To fill some evil lust.

Damaged torn and broken
I lay piled up in a heap
I promised not to trust again
thats a promise I would keep.

Living deep inside myself
Appearing to be well
I lay at night and wept inside
to break out of this hell.

But I am much older now
The target you placed is gone
I am no longer a victim-
For I know that I am strong

I choose to forgive the sin
And not let it consume
I am no longer the little girl
closed up in that dark room

It has labeled me for too long
Ive tallied up the cost
There will be no more damage
From innocence that was lost

GEL, that was great and very sad, I'm sorry to see it was done to
you.Thank you for not letting it make you bitter anymore.

GEL, that was very sad, your an
amazing person,, Thanks for sharing D :)

We will never understand why things like
that happen just have to know it was not
that little girls fault.
