Taken away is innocence, <br />never to return. <br />Loving heart still intact, <br />but shame and horror set in. <br />Should have stopped him, <br />unable was I. <br />Pain, intense as Hellfire, <br />forces a shudder through my body. <br />Moisture gathers on my face, <br />shivering though I'm inflamed. <br />Like a fetus in the womb, <br />feeling completely alone. <br />I think of why this could <br />or would happen. Life <br />takes sharp turns too fast <br />and crashes sometimes. <br />He took my life, my world, <br />yet hate him I cannot. <br />Floating now away from <br />myself, lightly a tear falls. <br />Jerked awake by a srien's call, <br />someone holds me close, <br />flashing lights in my eyes, <br />telling me 'You'll be all right.'<br /><br />Miranda Oney<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/stolen-innocence-3/
