Stolen Innocence
Swiftly moving water washing away his sin,
memories of the last time plaguing me once again.
A child’s sweet innocence, ripped away in vain,
endlessly hiding the deeds, eternally hiding the pain.
Never let the others see the guilt suspended deep within,
when asked what is the matter force an outward grin.
Tell not of this dirty secret for the shames to much to bear,
Let the water wash away the filth and pretend it was not there.
