Just To Let You Know

I’ve eaten the chocolates you brought last night in the box that was prettier then the taste of the candy oh… forgive me, I don’t mean to sound ungrateful but... I’m not that kind of girl you know one who is bribed by roses and Whitmans nor... am I likely to fall for fluid practiced lines meant to make a girl swoon and fall in love for a careless hour of your time with your hungry, shallow anticipations… of removing my pearls and chemise you know… the one who waits with excited expectations for your silvery seductions... just yearning to be seduced by your lover boy’s touch or … for a midnight tryst that ends before it even begins oh yes... I see your majolica, opaque heart It reveals the opacity of your dull mind nay,... you interest me not my heart rises to the golden boy the one who laughs with his eyes and... he really does see me with his heart the one who listens- who knows the color of my eyes he spends $1 on my favorite kind of licorice not… $20 for a meaningless box of chocolates or… roses meant only to impress he's the one who learns quickly he really wants to know things about me those little endearments… you know... like what my middle and last names are he knows and sees what I have to offer it will be appreciated by a true heart for I am not an empty headed young, seductress waiting... to sweep you off your feet with empty lines and ploys no... I am not that she who expects fancy gifts unloading your checkbook of it's contents putting out her soul for sale no... I'm not some plastic Tinker toy you put together and then pull apart so… I think I’ll just wait until he comes along If not… when I’m alone I’m happy the smell of the dogwood their fragrance in the breeze I’m okay with just being me
