The Death Of Innocence

The chains biting into my flesh

I try to pull away

How long have I been captive here?

Have I been here for days?

The ground beneath my feet is soft

Not hard like rock or stone

If I'm not in a prison, then,

Why am I not at home?

And then the memories flow back

The abduction, the pain

The threats he whispered in my ear

As my innocence died in the rain

The murder was not physical

But painful it was indeed

you destroyed what I used to be

Now what life should I lead?

Maybe I should have told someone

Everything you did

But, instead, I was ashamed

And so, I ran and hid

The chains bind me unwillingly

To this wall of sorrow

Maybe my mind will set me free

Until then, I'm here each tomorrow...
