I purse my lips,
you reach for me again.
Anything for love,
I tell myself again.
The things we do for money,
are plenty.
You lean in for a kiss,
I can't even believe I'm doing this.
Remember those shoes and that dress,
you'll be the baddest at the party; best dressed.
he starts to carress,
I can't bear to mention what happens next.
you whisper in my ear,You like my moves,
tell me I'm the best.
I'm disgusted,
I fight back the tears,
the uncertainty in my chest.
My occupation fills nighttime with thoughts,
making it difficult to rest.
My family would be disgraced if they knew...
putting blood ties under great stress,
Unconditional love to the test.
Yet, it's as if I'm addicted,
tonight i'll be back in the alley's
hitting the streets,
never knowing what will happen next,
looking for something to complete me,
the expert to validate their fetish.

Very Good.
First of all, I'll tell you how I stumbled across this poem. I recently added the lyrics to one of my songs and when I put the genre in, (society, life etc.) I decided to write in prostitution. Then I clicked it, and a whole list came up, with yours atop.
Secondly, I hope you wrote this as a theme and not as real life. It is a very good piece of work. If it wasn't I wouldn't leave a comment at all. You are worth a score of 3 but I can only afford to give you one cause I wouldn't have points for other people I need to comment on, but rest assured, this poem is a 3 in my books. Happy writing.

Very exp,licit and the raw emotions and the reflected enigma and the shadow of pain run deep .Every word weaves a magical spell and I am absolutely completely enthraslled.The idea incorporated is unique addiction warring with self disgust and fear of exposure and facades that hide sordid realities that should never see the light of the day and yet make the sleep an array of nightmares.Thanks for sharing glad you shared and continue to share...
