Chelsea Rent Boy

I see his face
caught in the night
our eyes lock for that one moment
for that moment, I am paralysed

See, to anyone else he is a just a person
but to me, I see the pain
I see the hurt straining in his eyes
I see the help in his expression
I know this isn't the life he wants

I am helpless
He is lost

I turn away, when I look back
he is gone
