This isnt love
This isn’t love
By: Crystal Fairchild
Girls as young as three and five
Are barely keeping themselves alive
Their pimps beat and drug them
All so some guy can claim to love them
But this isn’t love
Men touch her face and stroke her hair
All saying that they care
They violate and caress
Going beyond the bounds of a dress
But this isn’t love
These pretty girls dance in time
To the dance of love that binds their mind
They numb out and try to escape
The reality of their fate
But this isn’t love
A little one maybe three
Sits on the bed anxiously
Listening for the knock
That tells her when to rock
But this isn’t love
His hands run up her sleeve
Screaming his every need
He climbs on top
And doesn’t stop
But this isn’t love
She yells silently
While these men do as they please
Her body at their fingertips
And her heart cold with every kiss
But this isn’t love
Two more then I am done
She sits there waiting for him to come
All she wants is some rest
Even though that is not what they think is best
But this isn’t love
Tired and strung out
These girls have nothing left to flout
Hopeless desperate and lonely too
These sweet girls just don’t know what to do
Because they know that this isn’t love
