SWEET SIXTEEN

"Sweet sixteen never been kissed before"
Becomes a lie,
As soon as you close the door.
You know you're in trouble
When you hit the bed.
But you don't fight
You choose pain instead
Lights go off
He feels around
You know pretty soon
You'll hit the ground
In and out
He doesn't care.
If he leaves you
Standing there
You're all alone
And yet you're not.
One thing he gave you
Is all you've got
You're so confused
You start to cry.
You know you'll never
Understand why.
Why did you need him
And why did you lie.
If you don't look out
Your child will die
He gave you a baby
To raise on your own
If you fail this time
You'll again be alone
