L-O-s-e

You take away

A woman's honor 

Thinking it just her loss

But then

what of your loss

The loss

of the pride of the womb 

that must have brought 

you into this world

 of the pride

with which you may secure a hand

of the pride

with which you shall lead your son

what of the shame

with which you will lose conscience clear

 of what you made another life

die within.
