Flashing Lights

Boots up to her knees Her blue jeans mini skirt covering just a bit Her black leather jacket hugging tight She watches the city streets waiting for the next client An empty liquor bottle sits close to her Her only therapy of dealing with her demanding job Her only strength of facing all kinds of drive throughs Her only comfort on the nights the streets are dry Her mind far away To a place she wishes she could fly too Of a life she dreams she was

using temptation can pay the bills....but how can you cure the ills....associated with all that comes....the pleasure of the moment, her body is numb....but does she really understand or see....that the Love she sells should be given for free....then true happiness can find her heart....otherwise, she will forever be a piece of meat from the very start....great write njeri....;)
