She's a Piece of Work

Be careful she's a piece of work
She'll break your heart and leave you hurt

You see her hips, you see her thighs
That devilish spark in her eyes

She's got you hooked, you think you've 
Fallen in love, you bought her a drink 
She gave you a hug

You're a bit faded, she takes you home
She gives you the sweetest taboo
But it's unknown

You awake in the morning, she has your cab outside,
The smell of lust on the sheets run wild
So you leave a couple of bucks on the dresser nearby

She's no wife, she's no little girl
She belongs to many men in this world

She'll continue her search, she's out there 
And she's a piece of work



                                                                   -Ashley Humes

I like the play on words with your title. If you have a chance read my poem Red Door. I tackle the same topic. Intrestingly it is the one Poem I have written that no one has ever commented on. I guess it is a topic that many are uncomfortable with. I liked how you created a mood with your words.
