Forgive me for loving him!

After all he did say he loved me too

Forgive me for smiling at his letters

After all it was him who wrote them

Forgive me for touching him

After all it was he who aroused me

Forgive me for opening my legs

Was it not he who lay on top of me?

Forgive me for keeping quiet

He promised to marry me before it showed

Forgive me for getting pregnant

After all had it not been for his sperm I will not

Be in this predicament

Forgive me for having to raise a childless father

Was it my fault that he ran away?

Forgive me for shaming the family

But I will not apologize on his behalf

After all, he made me his victim
