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.

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.
