Do you even know what goes on at night?
I bet you don't know how many tears I’ve cried

Guilt and shame are all I feel
I barely have the strength to kneel [and pray]

What I’ve done will forever effect my life
I will be the most untrustworthy wife

My future husband will look down on me in shame
He probably won't want to mention my name

Why do you feel this way? You ask
Well I’ll tell you, for you I’ll do that simple task

I surrendered to the power of my brothers best friend
Now i'm lost and this heart won't seem to mend

My purity is gone and I feel so disgraced
And of course *he* is gone, he left without a trace

What do i do now that my wholeness is gone?
Put me out with the trash thats on the front lawn

God please forgive me for this horribly wicked sin
Until after marraige I'll never do it again...

This is really good!  I admit i wasn't sure what was going on until you said 'my brother's best friend', then it clicked.  Good job, the desolation is there, tne hopelessness that makes it so good!  I''m sorry if it happened to you!  I hope it didn't, of course, and amazing job!!

When I stopped trying to find the right guy, and concentrated on being the right girl, the right guy found me.

Wow! Bekah this is an extraordinary piece! One of your bests, I think. There is no way to choose a favorite part though, all of this was, IS, my favorite. From the first to the last everything just seemed to click. The flow was amazing, the wording, the emotions. I loved it all.

I can’t believe that you are having writer’s block, from what I’ve seen in this poem alone, none of it seemed forced either, and it appears that you will never fail to write a great poem! I found this to be a very pleasurable read. I just hope that you will post more in the near future, thanks a bunch for sharing this one though

Well, I changed my mind, again! Bekah I think that this part is my favorite part in the whole poem. The power of the emotions behind it, the sadness, shame, all of it was and is amazing!

"My future husband will look down on me in shame
He probably won't want to mention my name

Why do you feel this way? You ask
Well I’ll tell you, for you I’ll do that simple task

I surrendered to the power of my brothers best friend
"

Hurry up and write more so I can read more!

My purity is gone and I feel so disgraced
And of course *he* is gone, he left without a trace

What do i do now that my wholeness is gone?
Put me out with the trash thats on the front lawn

God please forgive me for this horribly wicked sin
Until after marraige I'll never do it again...
