Innocence Denied
Look at me. My God,I am so wasted
Coming down off last nights drug filled high
It seemed so right when all the dreams I tasted
Helped me all my problems to deny
The last thing I remember I was dancing
Where are all my things, my purse, my shoes
Where is the guy that said he'd look out for me
Oh my god, what else did I lose.
I'm so scared, I don't know what happened
Everything he told me was a lie
Then he robbed me of my precious treasure
My life is over, I just want to die
I know that I can never face my parents
How can I tell them what I've done
Why would they even want me for their daughter
I hurt so bad and have nowhere to run
I can't face their looks of disappointment
Life as it was will never be the same
I've lost everything I've ever stood for
I will never overcome the shame
I'm sorry mom and dad, I have betrayed you
Your trust in me I know I have destroyed
The emptiness inside me is consuming
Where my virtue lived there's now a void
I climb upon the bridges concrete railing
And gaze down at the water far below
The ripples whisper promises of solace
I do not want to leave, but I must go
My eyes are filled with tears that blur my vision
Attesting to the pain I feel inside
It's just my soul that now will be affected
For last night is when my body died
I step off and wait for the sensation
When my body sinks beneath the wake
Please wash away the soil of indiscretion
Free me from the shame of my mistake
