DAY 11 #POEMADAY: Just a Woman
JUST A WOMAN
Wearing a necklace that said L 0 V E,
She strolls around looking for love tonight
Just a warm bed for the end of the day,
Where she will be paid.
She's just another being fighting
And clinging with all she has.
'Sadness' she wrote on her wrist
In drinking she forgets.
Wearing a necklace that said L 0 V E,
She doesn't know where she will end up tonight.
She is scared. So scared.
She is just another woman standing around the corner,
Clinging on but barely.
She wants to run. To run far from here
Before she falls deeper.
Any deeper and she knows
She will drown.
She has lost everything because of him
Until there was nothing left.
She still grasped his hand tightly
Because in a sad way,
He was the only one she had left.
Wearing a necklace that said L 0 V E
She cries at the irony.
