View Full Version : Innocence Lost

When I was young, yeah just a boy
I took a walk down to the port,
All I wanted was a view of the sea,
But what I got wasn't something...

I could never ever wish this upon somebody else
I could never ever wish somebody else to hell,
But I do have to admit what happened isn't right,
And maybe, just maybe revenge can be polite.

Because you see I was just eight
When I was walking down the street,
I passed Tom's new diner and smiled happily,
But then I saw your face and I wasn't sure what to think...

You said, "Come here little boy, I have candy in my van,"
I was hesitant at first, but you seemed like a nice man,
So I followed you alone, just a little boy on his own,
And you grabbed me by the hand, made me promises (you did)...

But then you tossed me really hard
Into the back of your white van,
You jumped into the driver's seat
And drove off like a guilty man...

Oh and I could never ever wish this upon somebody else
And I could never ever wish somebody else to hell,
But I do have to admit what happened isn't right,
And maybe, just maybe revenge can be polite.

You took me to your home
And what happened next I do not know,
For my head it blocks out those
Memories that hurt the most.

I just remember waking up,
Half-clothed, bleeding on a floor
Oh a floor covered in red that I had never seen before,
Oh I was scared, yeah I know, I was scared and so alone...

You walked in smiling big claiming you felt like a million bucks,
I just lied there in fear not knowing what was to come,
I just prayed to some God in the sky I would survive,
Oh then I saw you lick your lips, and I saw evil in your eyes...

But a knock at the door I swear it saved me oh,
And I could tell you were angry, but the knock you couldn't ignore,
So you ran toward the door and screamed, "Who is this, what the fuck?"
The man on the other side responded with "This is the police open up, open up"

Oh and I could never ever wish this upon somebody else
And I could never ever wish somebody else to hell,
But I do have to admit what happened isn't right,
And maybe, just maybe revenge can be polite.

All I know is that then and there I was rescued,
And I heard on the news shortly after it was true,
That you, the one that hurt me, were to be removed
From this society, potentially for life...

But then just a couple days later while still recovering
From the traumatizing moments that had scarred me for life,
I saw on that same news channel that you had escaped,
Oh and that was enough to cause my heart to break...

I sunk into depression and there I still remain,
You are still on the lam and I swear if I see your face,
I will show you what you've done to me
And make you feel my pain... Yeah I'll make you feel my pain...

This poem is intriguing.. And sad. Everyday there's another victim. Police try to do their jobs but sometimes they're to late.. That's why i'm going to be a childrens lawyer or social worker. This is a truly great poem. Try to get it published.

I just realized that I messed up switching from calling him "you" to "him" toward the end... I tried to fix it, but I don't know if I fixed everything or if it flows as well as it before now. 0.o

I'm not even sure if that's a word. :D I think its "indescribable" but I'm not sure. :P

But yes, I get what you mean, and your positive feedback on my writing always makes me smile. :)
