Is not a tale that is easily remembered <br />Nor a tale that should be <br />How she lost her virginity <br />To a man she thought she had befriended <br /> <br />Each day as she walked to and from work <br />He'd lean from his balcony and say “hi” <br />She led a very lonely existence <br />And was encouraged by his words <br /> <br />One day he asked her to visit him <br />Just to talk and get to know each other <br />She felt so special and wanted then <br />And happily agreed to enter <br /> <br />How could she know <br />That talk wasn't on the agenda <br />Instead he took advantage of her naivety <br />And bedded her unceremoniously <br /> <br />She was just fourteen her world shattered <br />He was in his thirties, for him it didn't matter <br />He had achieved all he desired <br />The stain on the bed the bonus <br /> <br />No wonder now she makes no friends <br />Is wary of any approaches <br />Would you ever after such a start? <br />How can they ever be trusted?<br /><br />Alison Smith<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/something-precious-lost-too-soon/
