The Hookers Prayer



The next one she meets
She's not gonna shag
Unless of course
It's someone she's already had

For once in her life
She wants to be seen
As something new
Someone clean

To keep her vow
This maybe hard to do
But she is determined
To do it for you

The next time
She says 'I do'
Its not telling a client , she sleeps around
But telling a priest,
Her man she has finally found

The next one she meets
She's not gonna shag
For once in her life
She is not gonna be a slag

well done whispers
this is not an easy topic to handle without either being too sentimental - or too harsh
you got the balance right for me
making me feel for the narrator because she is honest with herself
(that's me being long-winded again - i liked it) :)

floots, not an easy subject to write about when you know the person involved. Glad you liked it

alok, I am glad I was able to write this piece with the honesty that was needed

i like the way it is written here, simple and straightforward, a real desire to get out of the pits.
