I remember you young
Free
Hopeful
and oblivious to life.
Those better days of
Frolicking youth with blissful gladness.
Oh how things changed.
The sweet innocent girl I once knew
is now
gone.
Your belly is swollen with the burdens of now
and tomorrow.
All it took to change your life forever was a
thoughtless night in hot passion.
Does the passion of that night
suffice for the hungry, relentless,
dormant future that awaits?
Only you will know the torment of it.
And when you know.
It will be too late to escape.
And you, like many, will just become
another wasted teen who ******
too much.
What a shame.
Now watch your life slink away in shame
and wave goodbye to youth.
For the girl I  once knew, is no more.
