The Seedy Side Of Life

The Seedy Side Of Life

A Poem by Stacy Purvis
"

Written for and about an old friend and her many sad escapades she calls "Life:.

"

The strap falls off her shoulder

As the lights slide across her body

In the dark, damp hotel room triple x

On the seedy side of town for sex

 

“It’s just us two” she says to him

With her sinister grin, she leads him

Down the path of malevolent sin.

She says “now let’s begin” and…

 

No looking back now, he’s gonna burn.

 

Someone’s waiting for you

She’s worried now it’s late

Someone’s been up for hours

Wondering if you’re okay but

 

You don’t care because it’s all-

All about you now, isn’t it?

And she knows, yea she knows

Where you’ve been..dancing with sin.

 

The aroma of that night’s escapade

Looms in the air as she runs

To the door then falls to the floor

It’s going to be a long night, very long night

 

He tries to lie as she begins to cry

But she knows and it’s just too late

You should’ve known your fate

Once you cross that line..it’s done

 

And she says, “I hope you had fun…”

 

Someone’s waiting for you

She’s worried now it’s late

Someone’s been up for hours

Wondering if you’re ok but

 

You don’t care because it’s all-

All about you now, isn’t it?

And she knows, yea she knows

Where you’ve been..dancing with sin.

 

And you’ve lost her-the best thing

To ever happen in your life

In a long time but you’ve lost her

And now she’s gone…long gone

 

No looking back now…

And he’s gonna burn..

 

But you don’t care because it’s all-

All about you now, isn’t it?

And she knows, yea she knows

Where you’ve been..dancing with sin.
