She was just a poor girl
from the town.
No means or ways to make a pound ,
wandering , aimlessly.
Passing restaurant after restaurant .
Her belly starts yelling.
Reminding her of how hungry she is.
Sitting whilst it is lashing down with rain.
The poor girl begins her job.
Begging
Feeling ashamed, she sits on a bit of cardboard .
With a hat with a few coppers in it, lays in front of her.
people pass & go.
Now and then a passer by drops some shrapnel (coppers) into the hat,
A man drunk as a skunk passes by then returns saying,
"here i will give ya £10 if i can shag ya"
"No thanks"
She replies
But it keeps crossing her mind.
"ahhhhhh fuck you ,fucking slag"
Followed by spiting, from the disgusting man.
The cold and rain have taken there toll.
She begins to make her way home.
But this time alone.
As her boyfriend of 4 years dies from a drug overdose.
She misses him so much.
She passes the places he & her whilst in a knot used to live.
Wearing worn trainers, blue jeans, & a black puffer jacket.
On she marches to get some chips with the copper and odd silver she got from begging.
She buys as many chips as she can.
And sits on a stool by the window.
Watching the rain poor down.
Chips finished.
Onwards to home.
Walking down a alley.
She grabs a mattress and throws it on top of a barbed wire fence.
She then scales the fence and uses the mattress to get over the barbed wire.
Hiding the mattress.
She continues to her home.
To her humble abode at last.
Climbing through,
God knows what.
Entering, she fumbles about looking for her lantern.
Ha ha got ya.
She lights a candle
Enabling her to see better.
The lantern is lit.
And sleeping bag, which the church gave her .
Is quickly filled.
The rest of the home is made from cardboard.
Which by all means doesn't keep one warm in winter
But takes the edge off.
From a distance she can hear the man who offered her money for sex.
Has he followed her ?
"Here slag , still got that tenner, if you want to come and get it"
She lays thinking about that "10 and what she could get with it,
N o she says to herself, no,no,no
I'm not a prostitute.
Never have and never will.
After a while the man goes .
And the poor girl lays her head down
To get some sleep,
She says goodnight to Steve .
The love of her life.
She misses him so much
Laying and thinking.
She falls asleep.
Never to awake again.
Was it suicide,
Did her body give up after a life of strife.
Was it hypothermia
Or was it her heart.
Longing to be with Steve .
Did she pine away.
Leaving the town,
Without a frown.
Was it the £10 MAN.
sexually frustrated
When she was found there was indications of strangulization
And also there was a £10 note.
TO BE CONINUED,,,,,,
