The Innocent One- Her Last Breath

 

She was once a starry eyed girl

slumbering in her daydreams

with eyes closed to love's harsh realities

 

 

She never imagined the oncoming storms of life

She was listening only to the desires of her heart

yielding her body and soul to those not worthy

to share the delights of her pure, innocent love

 

 

With her heart in rapt attention...

she was not accustomed to the evilness of fools

who disguised their hearts with uncaring words...

Words meant only to deceive ...

by those who meant only to weave...

 their web of lies and deceit

 

 

She was stabbed in her heart

robbed of her innocence

by naive expectations...

 believing she was under the protected canopy of truth…

her stepping stone to finding love

 

She became entangled in their web of manipulating lies

deceived by those who used the language of traitors...

their games...

 ignited by lust and deception

Her inner beauty once sealed in purity

now smothered -by man's manslaughter of her soul

 

The bloodshed of her once innocent beauty

the ultimate sacrifice of an innocent one

by lies that breed the bad in some men

 

 

Her journey now ended

she now lies like a sleeping child

protected by embracing darkness

like a comforting blanket around her

 

Now, she can let her innocence shine

letting her spirit roam safe...

Free in the Universe of Angels

Once a sweet bright light in life

 

 

Now…

In stainless death she rests

under the protection of the stars

she now sleeps in her innocence

Her last breath rests in the meadow of angels
