Affection For Attention

by Megann Lee   Aug 28, 2006


Her dainty body teases on-lookers.
With her mini-skirts and barely there tops.
Heavily painted red lips.
Dark shadow ringing her pale eyes.

"Affection for Attention" is her motto.
All the trouble just to hide the depression within.
The hurting flees away, just as soon as she is picked up.
For nothing but a few hours of meaningless fun.

No strings attached, nothing to worry about.
With her clothing now removed.
And his lips to her ear, softly whispering sweet lies into it.
She smiles for this is just a game.

Once it's over, the cash in her hand.
She thanks him, gets dressed and leaves.
Her make up smudged, and clothes wrinkled.
The cash proves, just what she thinks.

"Affection For Attention" Is her motto.
She shall play this game of cat and mouse.
Till the emotions are too much to handle.
But for now, she is winning in this harsh thing called life.

    Everyone has their own ways of drowning away pain and depression they don't want to feel. I have never thought of I self-prostitute for money in this light before, you gave me something to think about. A brave and powerful write.

    Awh, wow hunny! That was so amazing.. The imagery was so clear and vivid, I could see the scene in front of me.. The descriptions were filled with detail and the emotion was strong..

    Till the emotions are to much to handle.
    ^ The first "to" should be "too"
