That Old Line by Your Melody

You told me not to worry
that everything would be just fine
you put on a condom
and fed me that old line
I love you Nicole you told me
I love you so much I wanna be with you forever I heard you say.
I don't know if it was all the drugs,
or if it was just the fact we were actually finally "doing it"
finally going all the way.
but the thought that I had just turned 14 never seemed to cross my mind.
I heard everybody's voice in the back of my mind.
"Don't do it" they told me,"You'll regret it forever!"
The only voice that was missing from this bind,
was the one I had heard everyday for the last 14 years.
though I thought I had grown-up a lot lately,
I still had a lot of long-term fears.
One of these fears was now coming true
and I realized I still had a lot of growing up to do.
In these last 14 years,
I never once imagined that I'd ever shed this many tears.
The only voice that was missing from this bind,
was the voice of my sould that had somehow escaped my own mind.
My mom never found out, only my best friend knew,
she was the one who told me what not to do,
but being the person I am today,
I decided not to have my son that way.
She was the one who came with me
even though I yelled at her to just leave me be.
She was the one who held my hand
even when I felt as if I was sinking down through quick sand.
I never got to see my son,
that beautiful son of mine,
but next time someone tells me not to worry
and that this is all just for fun,
I'll be out the door so God damn fast,
because I'm not gonna stick around this time
to hear someone tell me that old line.

Here's an Explanation
In the poem the girl finally started having sex, though she was just 14. She got pregnant, and had to have an abortion, and now in the end she's saying she'll never make that mistake again, hope this helps.

i didn't get the poem, i thought it was about what might have happened with us. i was so scared till i read the comments. who ever it is. i am sure you will tell me 'cause i know you love me and you can trust. even with your life and you know you can be safe

wow...
OK great poem! I will always think of this poem next time somone is talking about having sex. And i dont mean to be rude but joe, it seems to me that you are saying that like "u know you love me and you can trust me" It may not be for sex, but its the same line. Thats just my opinion..... again GREAT POEM!

Leah06, have to admit this, but u are right. it is all the same line, sometimes it's just hard to realize it.
