Ripped, faded blue jeans, long brown stringy hair, Yellow smoked stained teeth, a cold, silent stare. A thin, pale face from smoking too much crack, Nose and tongue ring, tattoo on her back.
Wore too much lipstick, black mascara eyes, Made her living by entertaining guys. For twenty dollars, said she'd love me so, Jokingly said, "I call it blow for blow.
Only do this because I need to cop, Got a drug habit, sadly cannot stop. Although I know sex isn't really love, I swear I'll make you see the stars above.
I will make you scream, I will make you shout, I will turn you in, then I'll turn you out. When we are finished, promise you will know, The reason why I call it blow for blow."
Before I answered, she said, "I'll be back, I'm gonna go take my last hit of crack." When she returned she looked so paranoid, Without no more crack, she was quite annoyed.
Shaking her hips and wiggling her bum, Using swear words, snapping her chewing gum. "What the f**k, Man? You've got to let me know, If you're down for a little blow for blow.
"Please say you are, because I need some crack, Don't dare judge me, when I am on my back. Girl has to do what a girl has to do, Gonna buy a rock when I'm through with you."
I gazed at the lights, glanced at the city, Looked at the girl with sadness and pity. Gave her twenty bucks, said I had to go, "Just keep the cash, they'll be no blow for blow."
Thanks Wendy, you're right. Far too often it is true. I probably worded this one a little too strong, but it was an attempt to show those "experimenting" where drugs can lead you.
This poem just felt so real while I was reading it. I loved that fact that you made it strong all the way and that really made an impact on the reader. Very well done.
Perhaps too harsh, but I was just hoping to convey a message where drugs may take some people. Don't want it to look like a pretty life. Thanks for reading.
