Innocence Lost

Brought you up like a little princess, center of my whole universe; when you cry I’d come right running – daddy’s little girl. Through distance and even through time, nothing could seem to pull us apart. riding on my back, screaming with delight – father and child. But now that you’ve grown without warning you thrust a dagger through my soul, cut me up with your sharpest blade, pierced my gut with your pointed knife, broke me up like your helpless doll. how could you! We used to be so good together, at least that’s the way I always thought; never knew you’d hurt me this bad, you lived just for yourself. And now that you’ve grown without warning you thrust a dagger through my soul, cut me up with your sharpest blade, pierced my gut with your pointed knife, broke me up like your helpless doll. how could you! I can’t tell if I can look at you again with the same glimpse of love here in my eyes. I may forgive you when my wound finally heals but one thing is sure I will never forget. Betrayed!
