TWO PROSTITUTES. TWO BEATING HEARTS.

Last night we pulled into Atlanta at around 4a.m. to crash at a hotel
before driving on to South Carolina. This morning started out as a
typical day on the road. It was my driving shift and I reluctantly
took my place behind the wheel.

As I pulled out of our hotel i passed two prostitutes. One had just
exited the hotel and the other was a few strides ahead, walking down
the sidewalk. I wondered how heavy her steps must be..They were only
about 18-20 years old...

At first it caught me off guard but then it hit me that I should stop
and talk to them. I coasted to the stop sign, just trying to make up
my mind...then i wrestled with thoughts like,, "What would i say? How
would I approach them? Etc"

I sat at the stop sign for what seemed like an eternity... I asked
marcus which way to turn again, even though i already knew...I was
just buying time..

Then i made my decision...i turned the steering wheel and pressed on
the gas.

It was merely seconds and they were gone now out of sight, no longer a
visual part of my world...but they were far from plaguing my mind...

The guys are asleep in the back so the usual distractions and
conversations that decorate a driving shift are absent. My mind is
left to drive me back to that hotel ...

30 miles away and I can still see their faces...

Some might say dont beat yourself up, theyre too far gone, probably
strung out...they wouldnt listen...

But Ive been thinking...
Every touch..how tragic...Every single time that they r
touched....they r being used...everytime

They don't even know the innocence of a hug...to have someone look
them in the eye ... They dont know what it feels like to have someone
pull them close to make them feel safe...when was the last time
someone talked to them and didn't take the air from their lungs? How
long has it been since they have felt that ? have they ever felt
love's embrace ever ?

My regret is... I could have interrupted their routine, even if only
for a few minutes ... My words, no matter how inadequate, could have
lit their path ... Maybe for the first time ever...they could have
looked in my eyes and seen Hope...this is my regret... I hesitated but
why? Now its too late...they were so young...I could have...I should
have...

40 miles away still cant erase their face.. Next time I won't think
twice....
