Easy Woman

That guy with perfect lips is The most tempting man I’ve ever known,
but he is so complicated,
so mundane , so empty , so unknown.

He denies himself the chances that life throws. 
He likes fast cars , the sea , to own a motorcycle and easy women . 
He pretends his heart is frozen at a younger time when things were simpler to confront, 
and love bled red skittles bubble gum
and heart injuries healed on the run . 
 
The things he’ll never care  to know are 
that I wish I touched his soul 
that I wanted to be that girl , 
the only one , always in his dreams. 
that I wish to be the catcher
of all his self destructive thoughts.

How I hate that I can only  see him when he invites me to visit his dog.
Just because I know the end and is not something that I’m proud of.
The other day I saw him 
dancing  techno with another girl 
and I got mad .
You see , I’m such a good dancer .

And I had bought that dress for when he tells me : “let’s go to the movies, then we go dancing , we kiss in the car and after that I’ll take you home if that’s what you want . “

But I’m aware that day might  never come 
Because I already gave him so much 
And his response is as cold as an ice wall 
I am just glad I didn’t give him all .
