Couldn't he hear me,
hear my cries of pain.
Couldn't he understand,
understand my tears of shame.

With the "no" that left me
the expression truly meant,
yet, he interpreted it backward
thinking it was a "yes" I sent.

Left me there afterwards
cold and alone.
Feeling soiled, used,
he never heard my agonizing moan.

Cut me bad,
hurt me deep,
let me be-
bring forever sleep.

Not once, not twice-
too many to count.
Too scared, too ashamed-
every man I now doubt.

Though brief the time
it felt like an eternity
And knowing this ironic guilt
shall always stay with me...
