How did I ever get into this...... she thinks as she gets ready for another night of work Why couldn't I have just swallowed my pride and admitted that I was wrong..... she asked herself As she was getting dressed and putting on her short skirt that was so tight she could hardly get it on she thought back to when she left home The argument was so silly Her parents only wanting the best for her They only wanted her to quit seeing that one guy so often The one who she thought loved her so much until they moved here to the city Now, where is he, when she's here in this cheap motel room, getting ready to go out in the freezing cold to stand on the street corner to wait for her next customer so she can work at her new job She pondered these thoughts as she pulled her flashy short top over her head before she put on her thick makeup to try to cover up her young age and some of her tears (In case you didn't know, I thought of this after I read Professor Gloom's poem about Valentine's Day) |

Ethel, I saw from the "tag line" (I learned that term from Suthern today!) that this wasn't written from personal experience! tehe --I should have known that anyway!--Gary would never share you with other men! tehehe You certainly got into the skin of this character! I still can't help but wonder....lol Warm hugs and wishes for a GREAT Vee-Day! Linda |

Ethel. Good read. I started to feel something for this young girl. Perhaps a tear of my own. Though I was a boy and never "walked the streets" I have been in her situation and know the feeling. Thank you |

Ethel, Tsk! at Linda....smiling.... Yes, the title was a major hint. You left out the drugs, but this certainly seems to ring true of all I've seen on TV documentaries, etc... How terribly sad... ugh! shivers, here. Happy Valentine's Day, Hugs and Love, Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |
