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.
