Innocent Still

Innocent me for never taken
Not swaddle towards your charm
Thus not some girl but then became
On your paper thin ways

Your swagger is like a dagger 
In a web of lust and many seeds
I will not be growing a flower

You said thy did to not cheat nor beat
Within codes of lies and battleships 
Everything ended, love you was my lie

I love thoughts of what a thought
Lies i told myself
As I was innocently denying
You was a lying

I sit hear pen and heart change
You don't own my present, 
Cause i will be someone present
As you'll be someone thrift store find

Powerful words, Samantha. I especially love those last two lines.
