A hero of mine was sent to prison for crimes against children. Can no one be trusted?
It came out of nowhere,
The news slamming into me
Like a great stone wall;
Crushing the life out of cherished memories,
Familiar sense of security shattered,
Trust scarred, crippled,
Doubt now a silent nurse
Watching.

Do you ever think about
The ones who loved you-
Knocked off the road
Shared so long with you?

Just another of your victims
Picking up pieces
Of broken innocence.
