Innocence,
Stripped and removed.
Stark, bare and unforgiving
of all things that moved.

Insecure and untrusting,
I matured with age,
Only to destroy all.
I must be locked in a cage.

You loved,
What you shouldn't
With all your heart,
Only to be destroyed,
Your life torn apart.

I ask for forgiveness,
To talk once again.
I totally regret,
And know I'm,
The only one to blame.
