Stolen Innocence

Swiftly moving water;
washing away his sin.
Memories of the last time;
plaguing me once again.

A child's sweet innocence;
ripped away in vain.
Endlessly hiding the deeds;
eternally hiding the pain.

Never let the others see;
the guilt suspended within.
When asked what's the matter;
I'll force an outward grin.

Tell not of this dirty secret;
the shames too much to bear.
Let the water wash away the filth;
and pretend it was never there.
