~one walks in darkness
but not always alone~

What lies ahead for you tonight?
Dark and cold and starving
Needing to feel warmth from love
You are forsaken
You never felt true love
Left to wander alone
Searching for love from man to man
They do not understand
Your desire and your need
Love planted from a fallen seed,
Walking your road alone
No one wants you and you cry
Darkness and tricks are what you try
Men follow and you delight
Sweet lady of the night

I wear my finest silk
Then I paint my face
I know the things that I must do
To take me from this place
~~~~
You buy my body, you pay the price
Self respect such a small sacrifice
To feel loved to feel your need
I shamelessly disrespect God's creed
I know it's not real it's just make believe
But for an hour myself I deceive
I wake in the morning again I'm alone
I stare at four walls in this place I call home
When evening comes, I'll come alive
Walking the streets, I have no pride
Just to feel a human touch
Even if the morning brings disgust.
