Words a Mother Never Heard (Wattys2016)

Flirt

Gritty school girl smiles

Fluttering eyes getting attention.

I listened to words

But I guess I never paid attention.

Be a women first

And a girl later.

Or a bet you make

Self respect the wager.

I listened close

To the words spoke here.

And at the time

I agreed it was clear.

Yet here I am

Drawing attention to my skin.

Yearning lustful eyes

His touch I want to win.

Never lower yourself

To a level of a flirt.

Because in the long run

You are the one that gets hurt.

This may be true

But the short run feels so right.

Wanting to touch you

Allow you to spend the night.

Innocence is lost

Each time you touch my breast.

So easily won over

With smooth words you do finesse.

Maybe one day

I will learn my lesson.

But until that day

With hands tell confession.

Obviously Nichole was not happy with herself after she gave her virginity to this young man. I believe remembering past conversations, that she wished she would have stayed a virgin until she got married. But there is no taking it back once it's gone, unfortunately. 

I hope Words A Mother Never Heard is touching your hearts and maybe even causing reflection. For the young people that are reading this I want you to know she truly did regret her actions. So please think it through before you decide to give yourself to someone for the first time. Please remember to vote if you like her poem.
