A Betrayal Of Innocence
A betrayal of innocence
leads to emotional collapse.
Every fledgling heart trusts its wings
before its flight feathers get clipped.
Nothing's more devastating than
a betrayal of innocence.
Songbirds cease to sing cheery songs
and suddenly, words take on weight.
Your world is a less friendly place;
for now, you see life's ugly side.
A betrayal of innocence
feels like death from a thousand cuts.
Trust is no longer free of doubt;
what was, can never be restored.
You never forgive or forget
a betrayal of innocence.
