I WAS...

I was curiosity and wonder
a rushing stream smooth and fast
you were the oar that disturbed my slumber...
who knew such wonder could not last?

Lips, hushed, shushed...tears contained behind brown eyes
Paper heart, fail to start...have you strength to say our lies?

Then I was magic... but just a kid...
how can you live with what you did?

Words unspoken, cold...old, and so untold
Do I dare let this story unfold?
Is this tattered soul that bold?
Or has this trauma taken its permanent hold?

Blood running... paper thin
Should I have known better then to let you in?
Tears staining baby brown eyes
Childish smiles stained with lies...

Then I was magic... but just a kid...
how can you live with what you did?
