Remember When

The Loss of My Innocence

By J. ChanelPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

I remember cold air as the curtains flew open

January air filling the room with this mystery feeling

It didn't feel right but it felt necessary

You whispered "nobody has to know" 3x

I was beautiful and You felt fine

I remember the horrible tearing of my innocence as you professed your "love" to me

The passion in your rhythm, I didn't want it to end

I don't remember thinking, felt like I wasn't even there

When it was over, water sprung from my face

Regret? No but it just seemed you were already gone

Like I had disappointed someone

When you were finished you said, I was crazy

when you were finished you said, I’m not like other dudes

When you were finished you said, Don't ever leave me

Days went by I didn't hear from you

I worried, I cried, evidently you had my heart

You second guessed yourself

Wasn't ready for commitment you would later say

Some how it seemed like déjà vu, the day you left

But what ever happened to

"Don't ever leave me"?
