help.


help.

her deep, brown eyes cry out to me

help

my spine sends shivers 

help

she stands on the corner

help

the vehicles come and go

help

the buzz of cars and erotic whistles fill the air

help

a man stops and opens his window

help

she looks to see whether her boss is watching

help

he is

help 

she walks towards to door to fake a smile

help

words fly back and forth

help

she starts to get in the car

help

she stops

help

she remembers her old life

when mama used to braid her hair in the morning 

and all she had to do was be still

help

she stands still

help

she looks around

help

she looks my way

help

HeLp

HELP

she stares into my soul

HELP

but what can i do

HELP

can i stop this never ending hell

HELP

no not yet-i'm just one girl

HELP

no

No

NO

that's not good enough 

she needs me 

HELP

i look back into her eyes- now i stare into her soul

HELP

i will come back---someday i will [HELP]
