She never knew how much one could love Or how much one could take She never knew how much it would hurt When she found out his love was fake She never knew the way to his heart But she was willing to try She never knew that he would be The one to make her cry She never knew what friendship was Only what she heard She never knew what love was Even after everything she’s learned She never knew what she was missing Because she locked herself away She never knew what fear was Until that horrifying day She never knew what monsters were Her parents would never tell She never knew what rape was Definition: an unforgiving Hell She never knew this would happen That he was only going to use her She never knew that all he wanted was To get her alone and abuse her She never knew, she never knew About monsters, rape, or pain She never knew that a teenage girl Could be used for a teenage boy’s game. Writen for my friends and family. |

This is one of those poems where words fail me. The pain that this girl felt was well expressed and I could feel it too in a vicarious way. |

That's how I felt when I first wrote it. It's not a message poem, but I gladly dedicate it to anyone who has felt a pain of sorts. |

Hello Nicole, this is so sad, the poem has the right and gifted tone to unveil a tragedy that happens too frequently, may your words give some cure....Thanks for the poignant poem. yann |

Welcome to Pip, dear Nicole Victoria! You wrote well about one of the saddest experiences that can happen to a teenager and you succeeded in conveying compassion for the girl and disdain for the perpetrator. Thank you for speaking up. Love, Margherita |

Thank you all for the comments. I just felt that it was an important topic, and one that could convey the raw emotion that I was looking for. As a young writer, it makes me smile to know that my poems are worthy of the momentary glances of those you know what they are doing. Thank you again <3 |

I like how this poem had me thinking it was a beautiful, sweet young love expression, then the change towards the end to a most serious and painful topic. Very cool twist (the writing, not the topic). |

Your compassion for others is spot on. Well done, Nicole. We think we might know what others go through...but another's shoes sometimes pinch, and we don't step long in them. Welcome to Passions.
