The brown eyed tall man hired me for a week
Sitting in the garden
Served tea in the early night
Shared a friendly smile each
Time was passing on
Here itself
Shall I take off my clothes?
Nodded No.....
And said
Wear a jacket over it
Will go for dinner then for a movie
Feeling lonely,
Needed a person to spend my loneliness with
Never called you for flesh
Be comfortable and be a friend for a week
Made me stuck
Felt the heaven in the hell
Physically whore, mentally virgin
Selling the body never the soul sofar
longing for the man
To complete my feminity
Looking for the soul sex
Found in him
Paid for a week
Denied by me
But demanded the physical intimacy
I Wasn't for it
But, wished to be a mom
