Corrupted Innocence

To feel a hand grasp mine,
Trace the palm and learn each line.
To close the space between our skin,
To let out all the pain I hold within.

To feel my lips press against another,
To know how it feels to hold a lover.
To drop my guard and lower all defense,
To experience a moment, without pretense.

Wishful thinking from a girl so tainted,
Who lies with a smile so finely painted.
Mind so damaged and skin so scarred,
She hides her emotion all access is barred.

Longs for touch and screams for release,
Filled with such turmoil, she aches for peace.
