the first stanza needs something to clarify the relationship. I have two possibilities at the end of this poem -- "she" is a prostitute, or "she" is a mother and "he" is the let-down father. There is similar harshness in this poem as in one or two others on this site -- like "Don't Spend your Tax Dollars" I think was the name of one. Good stuff here -- just need one more thing.
