We Had a Promise

[GemetZephyr]

God bless the angels of the street
dressed in virgin black and hooker red lips.

We were in love.
I gave her a twenty
and she showed me a good time.
Not like that, you perverse dick.
We went to a cheap motel and I
asked her why she was out on the street.
I asked her why she was selling
what little she had to give.

We were in love. She was
fifteen and I loved her.

I loved her for five minutes and
she went out the door.

I promised before she went that
I'd free her.
We had a promise and I just
can't keep it.
