Emptiness
It fills my night
Although I give
So much delight
Catering to
All of their thrills
Whilst my soul
It slowly kills

They reach they claw
They grab it all
Yet still I feel
My heart grow small
All the while
They throw their money
Hooting and hollering
Calling me honey

And though I know
Not one of them
They say that I’m
Their precious gem
They call me babe
And want me near
But no truth
Is what I hear

I pay no heed
To their retort
Because I know
The married sort
They say one thing
And mean another
Then when they’re done
It’s home to lover

You see their words
I can not trust
I’m just a tool
To fuel their lust
And when I find
Their money gone
To the next job
I’ll move on

For it’s just
My fate you see
A life that’s filled
With misery
Money is all
That means a damn
Thus a stripper
Is what I am

Regret not that which you have done,
Rather that which you haven't

Thank you all so much, I'm glad you enjoyed this piece. I tried to make it non-gender based seeing as how I am male and I have stripped a couple of times in my life. MOst would picture a female in this role, but as I see it, it works both ways both with the "stripper" his/herself and with those the "stripper" dances for.

Anyways, thanks again.
