Fallen innocence

**written at 3 am,**

I’m not as innocent as I look
My life was almost gone
Nearly 3 timed did I take
My torment all to long

I’m sorry I never told
Or even lied to you
I never knew that I was bold
Enough once you knew

The scars you see on my hips
Are not just simple scars
They came from the deadly lips
The parting skin really mars

The many times that I told you
That I was clean and clear
Were all lies that are now through
I will not live in my fear

Yes I used to cut myself
I also tried to take my life
After so long on the shelf
I almost took back to the knife

My only friend I lost
After he saved my mind
Never did a psychiatrist cost
Less than my friend kind

My life is once again okay
Another love to me
And out of harms way
You mean so much to me
