Innocence

She smiles with flower laden  hair
While he tells her that shes marvelous, fair
In her eyes, such surprise
Yes its there

Such a tender age of seventeen
The things that she has not yet seen
Put aside, It will hide
Shes just a teen

He takes her hand, pulls her near
she cant tell if its love or fear
A gift forsaken, innocence taken
She sheds a tear

A sneeky trick he does condone
To leave her there all alone
A girl deflowered, a boy empowered
A baby on her own

A beautiful write, well penned but so sad. The rhyme flows very good. I enjoyed the read. Caryl
