The Sting Of Shame Poem by Peri Morgan

What can a man do?
When all his hope is destroyed,
by the one he loves,
treating him like a toy,
taking away his manhood,
feeling like a boy.

Why would she do this?
When she said she loved him,
through all her doubt and fear,
still she let him in,
if only for one solitary night of sin.

So know he feels the sting of shame,
for knowing things that should remain,
between two lovers,
now everything has changed,
leaving him a young man in pain.
