Love Poem: That Old Woman

That Old Woman

Slouched in the chair, with the lights off
Bottle in her hand she’s 
Amused, by the illusions she’s having
No parents, dropped off at the steps of those who don’t even know her.
Who don’t even care
Don’t judge me!
Smoke slowly releases from her soft lips 
She has no education no understanding
What comes after 10! 
Who cares.
Her hair is wild as she smacks the guys hand away
That tries to touch her
You don’t know me like that!
Lost and no love  
She sniffs away the powdery 
Snow that falls from the sky with no shoes on 
Black eyeliner drips down her face 
And her scent is unbearable
I have low- self esteem she says.
Her skirt rides up her backside 
And her eyes roll back 
She is at the point of no return 
She is lost with no home and no one to love.
All because someone forgot to love her a little more
