I lost my innocence when I was small
It was what had caused me to build up walls
The older one you are supposed to trust
Made me cry with his pubescent lust
Just five years old when it began to start
Eleven when he had a change of heart
The smell, the room, the feel of the bed
Are the very things that stay in my head
I could not tell for who would believe
That this boy would do this to his niece
Not all can understand my shame
Or even know where to place the blame
The small girl with blue eyes and blonde hair
Or the pre-teen boy with an arrogant air
At five you don’t understand that it’s bad
But you always know it makes you sad
I have since came to terms with what happened to me
An innocence lost that will no longer be
Nevermore will I hide this shame
I will forever refuse to hide his name
I have confronted my demon from my past
It is his disgrace that will now last

An innocence lost that will no longer be
Nevermore will I hide this shame
I will forever refuse to hide his name
