No respect for myself,
I wish to be faithful.
Respected by my peers,
Though they are dull.
A real woman is hard to find,
The rest of us are loose devils
In disguise.
Disease.
Unwanted pregnancies.
Infecting the population
With malcontent.
Full of myself,
and I'm heartless.
Making life a mess.
Without finesse.
Without caress.
Killed me
With cracked beauty,
My vanity.
I'm dirty.
My body
Willingly given,
But I die alone.
Alone in pain,
Alone in vain,
Love and lies.
I must.
Break the chain,
Break away.
Break free from my lover,
My enemy.
Go back to my loving husband,
Beg for forgiveness.
