I am no longer innocent. By loving me you delivered me into this world as a wailing babe, Naked, swollen and dependant I came, Slipping painfully into life. Free from the warm cave within; A cocoon which began to suffocate me, But now exposed to the bruising of new ailments. There is no life support for this child, A miracle it was born , a struggle to keep it alive. Our love existed in this manner.
