Smiling eyes hide ice cold stare
as she opens up her door.
The girl who really doesn't care
then welcomes in another.
Is it always just for cash
or is there something more.
Will she give the needed warmth
denied to him by Mother.
Will she offer flattery
or merely silent mockery.
Broken lives on sheets of shame
Will hide forbidden tears.
Secrets burning, hidden yearnings,
beat down through endless years.
Cash changes hands, each understands.
For this is life. This is the game.
