INNOCENT
You're like a flower- so fragile, so delicate
Not even a butterfly could land on you without you flinching
But that's exactly what it wants, exactly what it has been hunting for
The perfect bait for a new end, to start all over again
Innocent
This word is the word most often to describe you
Innocent
You have gotten use to the word replaying in your brain
You are indeed innocent, and that is what it wants.
I'm sorry it had to come to this, it's not my fault.
I would say I tried to stop it, but truthfully I did not.
I watch from the boundaries that you have made, as it tears into you a little more each day
I see you struggle, and I see you call out for help. But where were you when it was me who was delicate and fragile?
Our roles are switched and this is what your fate is.
Innocent isn't the best trait to have, now is it?
