You kissed my fingertips so sweetly

And softly caressed my skin

We cradled each other in the dark

So full of lust and sin

That necklace dangled on your chest

Reminding me how bad things were

You might as well have got that ring

From a gumball machine at the store

I felt my heart drop to my stomach

And I let out a heavy sigh

You pulled me closer to you

And caressed my thigh

My heart was still beating in my stomach

I ran my hand across your chest

Hoping to clear my mind

But I new this was a test

Would I let the tears

that were swelling in my eyes come down?

Or would I suck it up, be the mistress

And hide my feelings with a frown?

I so badly want to show you

how much this hurts me

But I’m a foolish Libra

that lets my sadness go unseen

I’m so happy being happy

That I cast the inevitable away

I wonder how long it’ll take

for this charade to go astray
