Stolen Innocence

A small child innocent and sweet
Only three years on her feet
Big eyes, light hair, trusting smile
Innocence that lasts for only a short while.
Someone she trusts with all she has
Hurt her and the hurt just wont pass
Took her to that private place
A reality that she could not face
Pushed the memory deep inside
A place only her brain could hide.

Parents fought almost everyday
Wasn’t much she could do or say
They finally gave up and called it quits
Alone in her room is where the Lil princess sits
They argue and they fight
Pulling her in two with all their might
Judge decides with her mom is where she’ll stay
Daddy just turns around and walks away

She tries to be the good girl they say to be
But theres a pain inside crying to be free
She smiles everyday doing what’s expected
Feeling loved but at the same time neglected
Always felt something wasn’t right
The memory remained in her mind, out of sight

Together, alone with the guy of her dreams
A vision in her head makes her scream
In his arms he holds her tight
Lets her know it’ll be alright
He tells her she did nothing wrong
They’ll face it together and be strong
Shame and guilt runs through her veins
A man she trusted caused all this pain

Now she’s a woman, all grown
Has kids of her very own
Lives her life the normal way
Trying to make it through each day
There are some days that are really rough
She holds up her head and tries to be tough
A day she prays he regrets
A day she wishes she could still forget
Her heart breaks at the thought of that day
When he took her innocence away.
