The Rape of Innocence

Unfamiliar emotions strip the soul and leave it bare

Tears stain soft virgin skin so fair

Scared and scarred, no longer able to pretend

Wounds so deep, unable to mend

Fear consumes, starved for humanity

Love slain by senseless vanity

Death drenches youthful eyes leaving them frail

Life smothered by cruelty's thick vale

Hate clouds the sun turning hope blind

Sadistic lust taints the untouched mind

Chaos spreads, breeding confusion

Defenseless naivety locked in hallow seclusion

Twisted kindness demands acknowledgment

Sweet blood bares reprehensible punishment

Dark night silences joy's bruised rays

Torment fallows, a loyal pet that never strays

Black blood rusts cold rage

Strong wrath fades not with age

Righteous pride broken by greed's clever lies

And somewhere in a corrupt abyss lost innocence cries
