Tales of Innocence

We were swollen lanterns of prey

Lighting the way for hunger to feast

Our firm young skin free to befoul

Caressing intrusion of the beast

Bodies like toys bargain for favours

The gift of sacrifice

Wiping my body never again clean

Guilt bleeds from taste of my sin

In my shame are memories of passion

The one thing of pleasure within

Bodies like toys bargain for favours

The gift of sacrifice

No flowers to spare, she gave herself them

And when she returned she was, she was

Stillstill

Bodies like toys bargain for favours

The gift of sacrifice
