Loss of Innocence

By AllenTaylor

I am so poisoned
From this forbidden fruit
Now I'm stuck doing
Things I've never wanted to
I am defeated
Life is a broken game
Where's love when I need it?
I've died inside
I am to blame

So lost
Lost in the dark
I need you to find me
I've missed my mark
Suffocating
Wasting away
No more torment
Loss of Innocence

I am afflicted
From these cold chains of shame
My blood is addicted
I've bled to change
Yet I'm still the same
I'd love to have you
I hate to be your slave
I need a breakthrough
Before your kiss
Leads me to the grave
