Betrayal Of Innocence
The betrayal of innocence
leads to emotional collapse.
A fledgling heart flexes its wings;
before its flight feathers get clipped.
Nothing's as devastating as
the betrayal of innocence.
Songbirds cease to sing cheery songs,
and suddenly words take on weight.
Your world is a less friendly place
for you now see life's ugly side.
The betrayal of innocence
feels like death from a thousand cuts.
Trust is no longer free of doubt:
and once broken, can't be restored.
A fearful heart cannot forgive
the betrayal of innocence.
