Lost my Innocence

Here's a poem from Awakening with the Sea that will be in Re:GeNeSiS

Im coming home late one night
I see a shadowy figure by my car's side
She said "I don't mean to give you fright"
"For the right price you can have the night of your life"
I asked her why she took this road
Why was this the life she chose

She told me

I lost my innocence a long time ago
The girl I was, she is no more
How can you save me if I can't save myself
I dont think you can save me from my hell

I go to the closest open store
The owner said "Why were you near that whore?"
He told me of her "exciting nights"
How she has ruined many wives lives
I asked him why she took this road
If she could put this life to a close

He told me

She lost her innocence a long time ago
Who she was, is no more
Why save her, she won't save herself
She knows her life is now a living hell

I go to her wanting to help her out
I said she should not always feel down
I looked at her and said help me help you
That it is time she start new
It is time for her to take another road
Now it is time for this life to close

She looked at me

I lost my innocence a long time ago
Who I am, I want her to be no more
I wish there was a way to save myself
Because I'm tired of living in this hell

I've seen her turn her life around
To see the evils in her life are now out
Seeing she is now sober and clean
She now looks at her past as a fiend
She is no longer on the corner at night
Now living a much better life

She told me

When I lost my innocence a long time ago
I thought the good inside me was no more
You saved me when I couldn't save myself
Thank you for removing me from my hell

The warrior

In honor of Re:GeNeSiS coming next month im posting poems from my older books. This poem is titled "The Warrior" it originally appeared in AWAKENING WITH THE SEA and later appeared in MORE THAN A MILLION WORDS

You say it's time I give in
But I know im in a fight im destined to win
You say im not ready to fight
But ill sacrifice anything, even my life
Telling me I'll never reach the top
But the warrior in me will never give up
Talk is over it is time we fight
Because this war starts and it ends TONIGHT
