He wanted a bride with untouched skin,
A pastless girl he could fold right in.
She said the truth - soft, honest, still:
β€œI’ve known love… and I’ve known thrill.”

His smile cracked.
His eyes turned cold.
As if her fire made his soul old.

He left - proud. Untouched. Intact.
A man so fragile, truth felt like attack.

Now he prays for purity in the dark,
While she is out -  leaving teeth marks

πŸ‘Έ
This piece speaks to the quiet cruelty of men who worship purity but fear depth - who want untouched women not out of reverence, but control. It’s not about virtue. It’s about fragility disguised as pride.
