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
