One Night Stand

You shook his hand  
he nonchalantly told his name 
the type of greeting that 
you do to passing strangers 
or someone you meet but later forget
not even 5 hours have passed 
and your legs are spread 
it was easy to get his doggy fed

It's the fact that you did it publicly 
that sickened me the most 
friends aren't supposed to know
if you want to be a **** than go
but at least be discrete about it
embarrassment in the morning
because we knew what happened
beneath the sheets is a problem
 
My thoughts on you have changed
and I doubt that you even remember
his name which to me is a damn shame.
There wasn't even any alchohol that you
could blame. It all ended this way
because you wanted it that way.
A one night stand. Another one on 
your belt I hope for your sake that
the expressions on everyone's faces
with force you to go get some help.
