The sweet scent of them drew me in.
The beating of their steady heart enveloped me.
Their strong, sure voices captured me.
Their arms welcomed me in.
But if only I had known, once they have you.
They never let go.
I thought they were the one.
The first ruined me.
Drove me to a dangerous world.
Th second took my innocence.
The third took my trust.
The forth took my heart.
They took bits of me...

Until nothing was left anymore.

I wrote this piece after I read the Ellen Hopkins books "crank" and "glass" about a girl who met a boy. All the boys in these books took something from this girl.
