Innocence Forgotten
Fake Steak perpetuate, ate your words
tongue-tied evil lies behind trembling cries
devils fork tied wrist, stake to my core
reassuring tender touch, trust not
quiver recoil toy with the babe, rape of innocence
with a slap of disbelief disobedience,
tug of war used to search babies' minds
Preying on the weak
Sign of the times?
"boys will be boys"
"I'm just doing it for the money"
"it's only sex"
"she liked it"
"I just had one drink"
"I promise I won't hit you again"
"I'm just a girl"
as she sneaks out of a window at midnight.
