Conquest

And in the morning he’ll regret Bedding her for a stupid bet, Taken on in a drunken haze; Such are selfish teenage ways. Whilst the girl, as she gets dressed, Acknowledges the ease of his conquest Accepting a truth she cannot duck That to him she was just a meaningless f**k. And when the lads meet up tonight He’ll tell them that she didn’t put up a fight Regret forgotten, he’ll stand and brag Of how easy it was to screw that slag. Crying herself, again, to sleep In her shame and loneliness she’ll weep For allowing herself again to be used. Craving love, but settling for being abused.
