So Many

So many moments of deception

Lead to pictures circulating the internet.

So many women who didn’t know better,

So many who will never let them forget.

So many with a dirty secret -

Hush now, never tell.

So many with a filthy secret – 

So many lives turned to hell.

Women sit alone pretending

That everything is fine,

Because men promised to never tell.

Claiming it’s the nature of lust’s design.
