Innocence Lost

Of earth and of light and of darkness,
Deep breaths of the prowler does wait. 

Small innocence skips home all unknowing,
Hinges creak as she closes front gate. 

And danger does not creep into minds eye,
As the door handle turns and locks click. 

For the beast and soon to be monster,
Creeps closer to innocents lips. 

A moments time and space passes,
Slower than eternities light. 

Horrifics the mind cannot fathom,
Lost innocence does not know of a flight. 

The memory of betrayal stays with thee,
A torment buried deep within the soul. 

Sound and or smell stirs the hauntings,
Visions of nose, mouth and eyes dark as coal. 

Now grown innocence stands before mirror,
Sees scars that are hidden deep within. 

Prayers to God and the Saints hasn't helped her,
She knows this act will be her last sin. 

For it's torture she feels daily within her,
That others cannot see or hear. 

Deep red is the blood flowing now from her,
She releases as sweet death does draw near. 

And family stands at the headstone,
Grieving as loved ones must do. 

Knowing the monster is among them,
Pray forgiveness because they all knew.
