You crawled into my bed <br />To make love for the first time <br />Then you asked for my help <br />You needed some more wine <br /> <br />You said I was the only one <br />To help you in this case <br />“Help me get my wife back” <br />You said with such disgrace <br /> <br />A friend from my teenage years <br />I was so naive and stunned <br />You could not have hurt me more <br />If you had shot me with a gun <br /> <br />You cried, you begged, you pleaded <br />“But you are my life-long friend” <br />I should have known that moment <br />This had to be the end <br /> <br />You stole from me something <br />That could not be replaced <br />My innocence gone forever <br />It hurt so much to face <br /> <br />I could have gone a lifetime <br />Never seeing that dark side <br />For years you and everyone <br />Had been so good to hide<br /><br />Linda North<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/innocence-stolen-2/
