The point of it all
She caresses the guy’s cheek asking for money when all she wants to do is leave a mark.
She sweet-talks the guy by the curb when all she wants to do is hurt him... hurt him bad.
She eyes him from across the room, signaling him to head back, when all she wants to do is stab him with the table knife.
She peers through the tinted car window and flashes a pearly smile when all she wants to do is rip his throat off.
She stands by the street corner, clapping and twirling in her lehenga trying to get his attention when all she wants to do is to light him on fire.
I am sitting in a cafe. Badly lit. I am safe here sitting with a guy who thinks he can eye me the way he is.
But hey. I wouldn't know the half of it, right?
Love in the name of opportunity.
