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.
