Eight years ago this weekend
My innocence was stolen
My childhood had been lost
I had been robbed of the one thing every girl can call her very own
Nothing pure left except the tears on my pillow
A unknown
A figure in the dark came by force and took it all
Took the only real thing I can call my very own
No longer a fresh blooming flower to offer
Only fifteen years old with an every girl teenage dream to give it to my chosen future lover
Broken dreams
My innocence stolen my childhood lost
Taken by a figure in the dark eight years ago this weekend

When I say something sweet hoping it will touch her guarded heart
I panic when I hear no response
When all I see is her empty blank stare
I hold my breath
I almost wish I could take it back
I think was it too much?
That's the problem with my wandering thoughts
I sit and ponder
I dwell
It's not that I am insecure but I am afraid of loosing her
A four year crush
My one true love
The idea of us seemed so much safer

This is what I have been patiently waiting for
Here is my second chance
I can not let it slip through my nervous hands
Not this time
I am going to do it right
I will not fall into temptation
I will not commit any crimes
I will do it right this time
She is the love of my life
I want to hold her hand
Kiss her beautiful soft lips and never say goodbye
She is the love of my life
I would be a liar if I said I was not scared
Scared to bare my soul
Scared to give her my all
But I am falling head first
Praying that she will break my fall

Let me read just one more poem
Then I'll turn out the lights and go to bed
Just one more poem
They inspire me they move me
They make me want to cry they make me want to shout at the moon
But let me read just one more
Then I'll turn out the lights

She is my best friend
The one girl who has always loved me and never left me
My side kick in crime
We stalk the cold streets at night
She has held my hand she has wiped my tears and
She has kissed me on my cheek endless times
Showing up at her doorstep ****** and crying
Had another fight at the house
She never judged me
She is there for me an I am there for her
We know no different
From punk kids to young adults
We still howl at the moon
When were drunk and not giving a ****
She is my best friend
The one I can count on when things in life
When things in my life don't seem right
I am her best friend
I have held her hand I have wiped her tears and
I have kissed her on the cheek endless times
When she is feeling lost and hopeless
She gives me a call
I fly I run I transport
I'm there
We are best friends til death do us apart

We are all beautiful creatures
dancing in open fields
With flowers in our hair and stars in our eyes
Dancing to forget all our sorrows
Lets live lets love lets all be one under the hot rays of the sun

At first I was upset
At first I did want to cry
I could feel the salty tears wanting to form in my eyes
I swallowed hard I held it down
I wanted to apologize but then I thought why?
A thousand times she has hurt me
A thousand times she has made me cry
I was not about to apologize for finally speaking what was on my mind
I had lost my voice but it has returned
I want to shout hear my roar!
