Paying For Sex


paying for sex

paying for sex
is like working for money
the give and the take
balance out in the end

dishonest transactions
in "normal" relationships
acting the lover
not even a friend

you offered so little
that i nearly drowned
in the bullshit i spouted
to cover the sound

of the silence you brought me
and emptiness too
when will i stop paying
for sleeping with you
