TAKEN INNOCENSE

He took her innocense at a very young age

and the smiles that she smiled disappeared that day

Her small fragile body took the brutal attack

while she laid there helpless, hands behind her back

His desire to fondle her small delicate frame

was an irrespressible urge that he couldn't contain

He whispered, "Everything is going to be fine"

that she would feel better over a period of time

But when he was done, there was nothing left

no kind of explanation that she could accept

She laid there alone, unable to see

the tears flowing down as he began to flee

He crept out the window and disappeared

she screamed so loud for the whole world to hear

Her cries of pain and undeniable grief

let out in the end with a sigh of relief

Her life would never be normal again

she would have to depend on her family and friends

To encourage her to be whom she once was

and to recover from the discernible unjust

The day soon came to repair the damage done

and her heart beat fiercely as the proceedings begun

He sat there glaring, reluctant to admit

that he was nothing more than a ruthless convict

but justice prevailed and he was confined

no more would he abuse another child

She was safe once more to run and play

and that smile that she smiled...

came back again
