HE


He gave it to me

A disease that

I will never be free

He cursed me

insensitive eyes with

words that promised

me everything will be alright

He declared me then closed me 

in this jail

I believed him

He said he applied a condom

only to report his friends what a whore i am

He damaged me

my first love

He murdered me

He gave me HIV

Now who shall  hold love me
