Even Joey Sun Shine Left Me

He talked like Kojak.He said Who loves you baby? all the time and I said I love you.He did not have a loly pop in his mouth.
He was not silly.
Us in the streets called him Joey Sun Shine.The reason is ppl smiled when ever Joey Sun Shine walked in.The fry chicken place or The Duchess.People seen Joey and there face lits up like sun.We were prettier to his eyes and we got better looking by them.His eyes was sweet mahogany color.
I met Joy after I got away from my old man that my folks set me up to live with and a pretty penny in echanges.
I got a way from him and I took back to prancing the pave ment in my cow girl boots.The owners of The Duchess was really good honest ppl.They let us all in who had no place to live.They kept us warm loitering with the paying custumers.I met some of my own custumers there.I was on lucky street in the place because there was always some lonley old men in need of some body heat.It was all I knew how to do and I was good at it.Not better then the other girls but at least I got to know the men.I got them to talk and i listened another good thing Im at.I was able to look in there eyes and believe that we where in real love. I had to believe that or else I felt dirty.
Warming up n The Duchess I saw a skinny guy come in.I watch him as I always do.He sat across from a lady and he took some thing out of his pants.He was smoking in those times you can smoke in places.After the lady left.I zoomed in on Joey.
Sitting across from him I was sizing him up.What ever was in his hands was gone.He asked my name I told him.
He had a luster in his eyes and a softness in his face.He asked me if I needed a leg massage and I said no.
He said he liked my dress and he said he was a leg man.
I seen him all the time after words.He always sat across some ladies and he had a poloroid camera and gave the ladies there pics for a dollar.Once when I came in and he was reading under the table.I got daring and grabed the magazine it was a porn magazine.I got happy to see that and I held it up for the other custumers and street ppl to look at.He was making motions to grab my neck then stop and the same over and over.I knew he will not grab my neck for real.I also realize it was not right at all to show his personal reads to the other ppl.
Joey use to take a mirror compact out of his pocket and use it to look up the ladies dresses.I knew this so I always cross my legs sitting with him.
He had two jobs sweeping out at the end of the night and he was saving for a VCR back then.
I was falling in love with Joey and we was together a long time.His mom sat on the porch all the time and I can not look at her when I passed.Joey did not want his nice mom to know he was with a pavement pouncer. She looked nice and old fashion sitting on the porch I was sad I can not meet or talk with her.She seemed like a real mother and a motherly mother.
I had his # his adress and his name.If he needed money I gave it and him the same.
He had a nice apartment with his mom.
When he walked in a place he arched his back to show off his hairy chest.He had lots of opened buttons on it.He walked like a lion real proud and mitey.
Then he left and I was heart broken.I called his mom.She dont tell me nothing.No body knew where he went.I started drinking more and gaining more weiht after.He was my first real sweet heart.I was not good enough for sure.And for years I thougt he will return for me and take me a way but he never did.I felt real betraded and I wished nobody ever called him Sun Shine.Real painful was the ppl who asked me where Sun Shine was and I did not know what to say.I didnt know and they expected me to know because we where so close.
He was a moth who come in the night to love me and may be he parished away.
I was young and pretty and thought I was loved.
