Fishnet hose and stiletto shoes,
Feast or famine, she must choose.
From a putrid life she'll try to rise,
Mounds of make up, her only disguise.

Poverty drenched escaping the gutter,
But those city lights now dim and sputter.
Chancing the odds, she's bound to lose,
Society's blows create a permanent bruise.

Fancy cars and diamond rings,
Wealth's facade invites and stings.
Longing for warmth, her innocence sold
For a cheap toe tag....

This world is so cold!!

dark skies come to life
ballerinas in the sky
dance in the moonlight

Hell or Heaven's gate
whether to love or to hate
what will be your fate

It was just like an unexpected ray of light,
You came to me one dark and cloudy night.
As I sat all alone downloading tunes,
Deleting instant messages like popping balloons....
But there was one that caught my eye,
So I clicked on the profile and I can't deny
My heart skipped a beat at the sight of your face,
From that moment on in my heart you would have a place.

I eagerly read and messaged my reply.
You were like an angel sent straight from the sky.
Your words were so kind right from the start.
I knew right away to say goodbye to my heart!
Love at first sight i never believed,
But from the first moment, my heart you received.
All the anguish and pain that I was living in
seemed so far away and I began to smile again.

As hours turned to days and days to weeks,
Each day your loving words took my heartbeats.
You entered my life and tore down the walls
That I so meticulously built to protect me from falls.
My heart many times broken, I was battered and beat....
But it seemed that true love had been laid at my feet.

Could I ever trust and totally let go?
Because heartache and sorrow are all that I know.
Your kindness and patience have shown me the way,
And I realize I need you every single day.
I am giving you my heart, unlocking the door....
I pray happiness lasts and sorrow is no more.
