The Scarlet Alleys
Those dark alleys were lit with suggestive scarlet hues
Where she walked wantonly in her high heeled shoes
Masking the discomfort of a dress that snugly fit
With suggestive scarlet hues, those dark alleys were lit
Her garish make-up hid the blue bruise, like a conjuring stick
In her exhausted eyes, unshed tears did prick
Oh! Lecherous looks and the lamentable life she'd to choose
Like a conjuring stick, her garish make-up hid the blue bruise
Just before dawn, she tiptoed back to her dingy room
One look at her cherubic child dispelled all her gloom
Her sole reason to live, he gave her the strength to plod on
She tiptoed back to her dingy room, just before dawn.
