they called her easy...

like it was a joke.
and it was.
she asked them to hold her while she fell asleep
and they agreed until she started sobbing quietly.
sometimes shaking a little.
they weren't the type to pull her closer
and let her know she was safe,
even if it was just for a few minutes.
truth be told, they didn't think she deserved
the security.
love isn't free.
but she was.
so they would pull away,
and after the first couple pulled away
she stopped holding on.
let her head fall back on the dirty pillow.
she pulled out small chunks of hair
when she finally fell asleep
and they were gone.
driving their trucks on the interstate.
still laughing at their luck.
she wasn't bad.
just easy.
