She fell in love again

My mom fell in love again Except this one was different He smelled of lemon and cigarettes Instead of the usual gasoline and cheep cologne   Yes This one was different I could tell his "loving" words to mommy dearest Were rip-offs from chick- flick scripts   His mask didn't even cover his whole face It left his widows peak uncovered I guess widows and widows were meant for each other He stayed for awhile I was surprised To see his feet resting on the table I had just polished The table used to be clean Used to be Like me Until his greedy hands needed more holy water till it starts to seep Through the cracks of his rough hands At least I felt as if they were rough   I wasn't one to turn my cheek I told my mom how different from the others he was Then he left Yet again A night in fake jewelry and free loading of a desperate man's wallet She fell in love again
