Amazing passion
My screams, your moans
Etched carefully into my brain
I waited for you to call
Waited for some signal from you
That you really care
But I should have known
Foolish me
Foolish, foolish me
How could I be so stupid
To think that you would care
Just another notch on your bedpost
I know I am
I knew I would be
But I never would have guessed you
Would put me there so willingly
I made it a point not to share my feelings
Because I knew, no I didn't know
I just figured that you would use me
But look at me now, used anyway
All of my efforts for self-preservation
Extinguished like wild flames
You were my first
You impregnated me and led me to believe
That we would work this out with the baby
Now suddenly you wish not to have it
"When are you going to have the abortion?"
You asked me
So nonchalantly
I wasn't surprised though...
Never that
Just the timing was completely off
Terribly off
In the midst of our amazing passion
He asks me to kill my child
Interesting choice of time and place
That goes to show how much of a coward he is
He couldn't bear to tell me
That he didn't want the baby
Until I was completely vulnerable
Fool me once...

This is truly an amazing piece! So powerful from start to finish!!! There is is much bare emotion and captivating expression throughout. It makes this reader dispise the 'man' and all like him. Beautifully penned - so painful and sincere. You have a wonderful way with words.... I am so glad that I read this piece.
Did you keep the baby? (None of my business I know...)
[Thank you for the applause on my poem by the way!]
