Array ( [sid] => 59729 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => tainted innocence [time] => 2004-08-11 08:01:30 [hometext] => i wrote it a long time ago [bodytext] => My innocence used to glow,
But now its not there to show,
I gave it all up to you,
To someone I thought was true,
But since that day ,
You barely come my way,
And whenever you do,
It's your conscience there not you.

So yes, I gave it all up to you
But your anything but true,
I don't love you,
I think it's time I blew you off,
You took away my innocence,
Something I thought you wouldn't do.

Is that all you wanted,
My purpose done,
I'v let you go now,
But you still think you've won,
Soon the guilt will kick in your head,
And you will know how my heart bled.

If you had felt the same as me,
Your feelings I would see,
Now you've felt giult and shame,
Since I unearthed your game,
Me, I'm tainted,
Forever my image splinted.

How did you know,
I would give it all up to you,
To the person I thought was true,
It all grew out of proportion,
Now life continues in distortion.

What an emotional write, very sincere and moving. It's obvious how the pain still lingers as each verse developes. A powerful write. Good read.

A kind of open your eyes poem. Very well done. And believe me, there's alot of girls that have gone through the same situation. Unfortunately. Take care

Struck two cords here. As a Father of two girls, I pray to God that I never have to hear or help either of them move past this. As a male, I think back wondering if there may have been past relations of mine that might feel this way of me. I do not believe there are ... but am I lying to myself ? It has been many years. A very thought provoking piece of work. Well done.
