Give Me My Hymen Back Poem by Raimi Babatunde

Like a pack of cards
I fell in love with him
With his soothing words
That which can wake the dead
He took my precious hymen
And introduced me to pleasures evermore

At first it was painful
But gradually I fell in line
Feeling that pain that sweetens you
Makes you run away from home
Defying your parents and guardians

Like a serpent I laid
Until he came by
You swore by your mother
That if I allowed you browse
I will be your life mate
I lost my sense of reasoning for love
Now you change the goal post

No longer interested?
Please give me my hymen back
Intact, before you broke it
Only then can it be broken
That blood oath we took
When you took my pride
Told me beautiful nonsense in true lies
