tears streak her cheeks,
another night spent alone,
another night in this place,
another night without warmth,
another night feeling pain,
tears streak her cheeks,
this is her life now,
drowning in the voices of men,
laughing,
happy men,
who want only one thing from her,
the only thing she can give,
push against the bodies,
pulled against the current,
her heart sore from the ache,
her lips craving something more,
her hands trying to find an anchor,
her mind taking in the fumes from the life she now lives.
