When She Came, I Lost My Innocence

When She Came, I Lost My Innocence

From my red honed carpet
I determine to play innocent
Never touched a fly
A tender contender 

When you see her, I rehearse
Focus. Calm and calm
Claim your innocence
And point the point

But when she came
I blushed, bowed, kowtowed 
Looked away, gave away 
My innocence, and she knew it
Could not hold it
Guilty. Oh Boy. 
Go away. Freedom comes
