She Is Alone

Standing on the corner
Watching cars drive by
She is standing there alone
No one notice that she cries

Suddenly a car is stopping
He roles down the window
Asks her"How much hunni"?
And they disappear like a shadow

She is a Queen of the night
Girl of the cities dirty streets
Only knowing that she's alive
By feeling her hearts beat

She lets him touch her body
But he can't get to her soul
And though it's been broken
her heart still seems to be whole

After he is finished with her
He dumps her somewhere
Doesn't want any one to see him
"He has never been there"!

Another car drives by her
She can hardly stand anymore
Her life is just so messed up
Thinking of her life before

Before she started doing drugs
Back when she was daddy's girl
She had everything back then
She lived in a perfect world

And now she just wants to die
Knowing that what she do is wrong
A car stops, pulling herself together
She tries to smile and to seem strong

*I didn't know how to end this, so sorry for the crappy ending. This poem was really hard for me to write...I was in Copenhagen this evening and I know that young girls prostitute them self, but I have never been in the middle of it all, like I was this evening. It broke my heart to see those young girls at 14-16 years old, going in to cars and leave with old men, made me cry!!! I wanted to safe them all, I wanted to scream at them and do something, but hey what can I do??? Nothing!!! Well I just had to get it out, sorry!!!
