i met a lady one night
at my local seven eleven
one cold and lonely night
i was going in
as she was coming out.
i met a lady of the night
under this fake electric light
her scent was alluring and dreamy
a scent made to follow
i stepped aside
to allow her to exit the store
she smiled as she passed
i momentarily basked
in the glow
that she left
in passing
appearances aside
this girl was a real looker
this princess of the after hours
this tragic ice cooked hooker
because she had a spark
a spark of a pure beauty
she held it within,
so very close to herself
like the smiles
that not many saw
she tried to play hard
but inside
she was beautiful
like her smiles
she was above all that
but she didn’t know it
she was strong
she was brave
and afraid to show it
she tried to be tough
but she didn’t have it in her
regret, time
and a number of bad choices
have combined
and lined
her pretty face

This was so lovely though it had melancholic vibes. Loved it!
She sounds absolutely lovely. As incisively bitter yet lofty and lyrical as always. Thanks. Love your stuff.
