I dressed up and adorned myself
with gold and red lipstick
I wore black lace under a white dress
and drank red wine slowly
as I made eyes at him
When we got home
he licked his lips and moaned
as he ate ice-cream
but when I undressed in front of the candlelight
he didn’t even bat an eye
or salivate over my skin
he reclined back and yawned
and before I knew it
he was off in dreamland
as I laid naked in reality
alone.
