When Lust Became Shame

by LisaMay

 
 
When lust became shame,
his sweat and my tears dripped down –
wet streaks on our skin.
 
My fear struck me dumb,
so he took without remorse;
but silence meant ‘NO’.
 
Cruel action was done.
Was my disquiet not loud? 
Selfish deeds are deaf.
 
So now it’s MY sin
and harsh judgement sneers ‘LIAR’ –
his word against mine.

Writing Prompt
Sadness has overcome us all at one time or another. Either caused by a relative or close friend's death or from the girl or guy that broke our heart or just life in general. We all handle situations differently, some good, some bad. This contest gives us the ability to explore this. Your poem can also play into other emotions that are common to writing like this such as anger or depression.
