You were young and you had a future, <br />There's a happy life you had planned, <br />But now you've got gauze and sutures <br />Because some suitor felt unmanned <br /> <br />When you won't give up all you have, <br />Doing what he says is your duty, <br />Becoming his submissive slave. <br />So he destroys your youthful beauty <br /> <br />Using vitriol or acid, <br />A sick substitute for hormones, <br />He'll make you pay for what you did <br />By burning flesh and even bones. <br /> <br />An act typical of his kind, <br />That burns your face and leaves you blind.<br /><br />Karl Stuart Kline<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/acid-in-your-face/
