life

painted face.
face painted with
all she thinks they want
to see.
trembling lips tinted
with the color of
brazen sass
to accentuate
the lie of a
perfect smile.
eyes shadowed
with salacious blues
to hide the blues
of dying eyes,
no hope.
brush strokes
of bronzed blush shades
her sallow and worn
face with an illuminating
glow of faulty perfection.
her temple...
the sovereign body
of an ignorant queen
inviting her sacred walls
to be desecrated
for the sake of
affection.
she drapes her body
with sex.
a virgin of self-worth
abstaining from self-confidence
lays oblivious to the fact
that every time she lets
them fck her
she fcks herself.
she gives them all she
thinks they want to see
and every time they walk away
a piece of her leaves too.
but she keeps giving.
as long as they pay,
she keeps giving.
she gives her worth, confidence, body, hope, soul, and spirit away.
As long as THEY pay ATTENTION,
she doesn't pay attention to who's paying the most.
