 Path to Womanhood

His eyes beckoned to me
Admiration shone deep within
Masking the lust that lay beneath

Was it to be deemed that I was to
Be nothing more than some sort of
Ancient chalice or maybe mere
Bragging rights

At my youthful bequest I laid myself out
Like some morbid sacrificial lamb being
Lead to slaughter

I gasped at the realization of it all as the
Air caught in my chest for that which for
Me would forever be lost
