Innocence Lost

Innocence Lost.

Or is it just your mind you’ve lost.

No one can take what you don’t use.

You have the choice to take it back.

When you were only a child

You lost it.

That thing that makes you want something else.

It’s 8:15 am and you decide to change your name.

You’re dressed up like a train wreck.

You don’t want a cigarette.

Claim you don’t even smoke.

But you check your purse for cash.

In the middle of the road

Just like another victim

You brought a friend and she’s got you wearing that bad look again.

Take a drag.

No one can take it for you.
Just another smoker.

Claims she’s lost.

Lost without the last him

Until you remember he’ll take a swing.

You got the choice to stay

You take a drag instead

And leave

Your friend is bringing a pack of Indians by

She wants you to wear that bad hair and kiss another man.

He may as well be a John.

You don’t love him.

Don’t even want to.

Middle of the road with your bad hair and bad lipstick.

Your innocence is never lost.

A cough precedes your drag.

Lost in the smoke remembering what he felt like on top of you.

His new smell, grunts and it’s the only affection you know.

You don’t have to do it but the weight,
The stranger’s body, makes you feel whole.

Comforted by the feeling of physical touch.

It’s a shame the way you hid behind the fake blonde hair

Pretending to be something you are not.

It’s a shame that they never see you.

Because you’re so busy avoiding yourself.

Innocence remains beneath the layers of disillusion.

You’re not lost.

Don’t even want to be.

Stay…

Check your cash and take a drag.
