In the Mirror

I close my eyes
believing then that it would not hurt
but tonight
feels the same as every other night
when a stranger takes you
then leaves you
a little less
than who you know you are

I close my eyes
and dream
as he lives out his fantasy with my soul
I wear a false smile
and choose words
to make him feel superior
maybe a moan
or a plea to pleasure me
yet this is not who I am

I close my eyes
and wait
soon he will be gone
and yet
he will remain within me
as my thoughts carry the weight
of my life
sadly the money
right now
is worth this unfortunate choice

Tomorrow
is my only escape
yet my eyes are closed
so I cannot see
the path
meant for me
so do your bidding
stranger
whatever you want to hear I’ll say
and when you leave
I will try to see the woman
in the mirror
