But Her?
It's another night for them
But her?
She's new
Anticipating what comes next
Their faces seem long
Longer than the hours left waiting
They do this as if it's regular
In dead robotic motions
Everyone sees nothing
Only what's needed
What they want
What they'll take
But her?
She's nervous
Not one one limb is still
This isn't right
She isn't ready
Too late
He's here
His interest is in the anxiousness he builds
A rough smile that foreshadows trouble
Blind to impeding crisis she gets in the car
He knows the regular
He knows what he wants
But her?
She thought it would be quick and a little shameful
How naive she was
She wasn't quite ready
So he took what he wanted
Then an unexpected more
Left a 5 dollar bill
And the words
"what a waste of money"
In a isolated hotel
On a ratty bed she was left alone
with a empty whole
Crying
But her?
She was no different now.
Just as dead as the rest
