Trusted

We went with a man to the fair

He ran his fingers through my hair

And other places

But we won't go there

I was eight and you were ten

We didn't know then

Some men can't be trusted

Trusted

We went on the swings and the rides

For chocolate ice cream

And other bribes

Cotton candy

A sweet thin disguise

I was eight and you were ten

We didn't know then

Some men can't be trusted

Trusted

Best to not tell no more dad

As it was the friend who had

Told us to get off the bus

And that he would pay for us

So we went with a man to the fair

And left what happened buried there

A dark secret

We swore not to share

I was eight and you were ten

We didn't know then

Some men can't be trusted

Trusted
