No Matter the Cost
She waits on the street corner,
Looking like a foreigner.
Tears rush down her dolled up face
As she awaits in her place.
Boys from everywhere like dust
Beginning to feed their lust.
She stands there and takes it all
Because she had hit the wall.
There was no hope for this girl
This gorgeous treasure, a pearl.
She had failed so many times
Committing so many crimes
She knew that this was her life
Forever to live in strife.
Then a Man came from nowhere
Her eyes could not help but stare.
Blue and red lights filled the night
The boys ran from the bright sight
The man quickly ran over
Completely embracing her
He said, “Baby please come home!”
She replied, “Dear, let me roam.
You don’t know all that I’ve done…”
He hushed her and said, “Don’t run.
Your sins can’t keep us apart.
I’ve wanted you from the start.”
“But what of my debts?” She asked.
“I’m beginning to get threats!”
He smiled and said, “All paid.
This is why I wish you stayed.
Don’t you know my love for you?
There’s nothing I would not do!
If only you would have seen,
That forever you’re my Queen!”
That, fellow readers, is love.
Not magic found up above
It’s when everything seems lost,
Loving, no matter the cost.
