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....;)
