touching somebody

isn't gentle anymore

it doesn't mean anything

people don't say "I love you"

they say "come home with me"

boys don't hear

"treat a woman right"

"don't try for something she doesn't want to give you"

they hear

"boys will be boys"

"it's okay if she's wearing a low cut shirt"

"if you bought her something she owes it to you"

girls don't hear

"leave him if he disrespects you"

"if you feel scared then don't stay"

they hear

"it's just sex"

"it'll all be over soon"

"you asked for it"

there is no more love

when people touch

there is just

violence

and hate

and the wrong

kind

of

passion
