You meant it as a mere joke Something I should laugh at But those words stuck And I felt a putrid, vile taste in my mouth As you said it I thought it was a night of love I was wrong I was so wrong For you chuckled And laughed at it And you sniggered And said ever so hauntingly... "It was the night you lost your innocence." And you continued to laugh As my heart sank And my pure heart was Drenched In black oil Staining my heart Never to be pure again.

"The night you lost your innocence"
You meant it as a mere joke Something I should laugh at But those words stuck And I felt a putrid, vile taste in my mouth As you said it I thought it was a night of love I was wrong I was so wrong For you chuckled And laughed at it And you sniggered And said ever so hauntingly... "It was the night you lost your innocence." And you continued to laugh As my heart sank And my pure heart was Drenched In black oil Staining my heart Never to be pure again.
Words hurt Even those from the ones you love dearly...
