Touch

the air was filled with smoke and promises

dark corners made the cozy spot for secret illicit encounters

her lips were red and her eyes were dark

and he was looking at her like he loved her

like he wanted her...

the longing penetration of his gaze was electrifying

...they all looked at her that way sometimes

every man she'd ever known had looked at her with lust

because that was all she was

you would think she'd be used to it by now...

she clicked open the lighter and ignited the tip of her cigarette

the niccotine coursed through her bloodstream as his hand slipped up her thigh

lightly teasing

intimately close

she didn't care about any of it

she let him touch

she let them all touch

confusing sex with love will leave a girl jaded

you're better off knowing the difference and keeping your distance

he touched her, caressed her, tried to envoke the passion out of her

she kept it bottled up inside, kept the walls up so no one could get in

she'd play this part again because she knew the game so well

breathy soft words and a low moan

she wrapped her arms around his neck as he kissed her

"tell me you love me"

say it for me...

the throaty words came out fast

"i want you so bad, i love you baby"

they all loved her

you would think she'd be used to it by now...

you would think a girl could tell the difference

everyone loves you when they want you

if only for that moment

but she didn't care about any of it

she let him touch

she let them all touch

she closed her eyes and gave herself over to the darkness

she gave herself over to touch

So sad, but so very true unfortunately, and too often it happens to girls and women nowadays, and it has been since ever that way for girls and women who haven't had the chance to be born into a well structured and loving family, or who unfortunately got off the right track, sometimes even out of real love to the badly wrong guy! However - your writing has a strong effect on the reader's emotions. It's very well done. Good job.
