I've taken a slightly different slant with my interpretation. I think the narrator with one of his friends about problems that he's having in a relationship and this friend takes advantage of this girl's lonliness and sleeps with her. Thus his "confiding in wolves." The friends he trusted enough with his problems are the wolves. When I hear "I'm like a virgin losing a child," I think of adoption. A parent whose child isn't really theirs, and thus a "virgin." To lose that child would still be very tragic, but the kid was never really theirs exactly. I think maybe the narrator is saying that he never really thought the relationship was very genuine but he's still sad that it's over. |
