She slid her panties on
and looked at me with a smile.
"You've done a lot but
there's plenty more for you to do"
She left her boyfriend in a week.
She put her hands on my chest
and looked into my eyes.
"I just want you to
fix me"
Her boyfriend was in Europe for the summer.
She put her phone face down
and never took her eyes off me.
"I told him I was at home
doing homework"
Saw her twice more and then never again.
She had the Devil's grin
as I held her hand in mine.
"Oh it was gift
from a friend".
Turns out he's her soulmate.
She touched herself and spread
the cigarette smell across my sheets.
"I need to have you whenever
I want".
Wonder if that's what she told the others?
She sat across from me
as we shared the same thought.
"We'd still be together
if it wasn't for him".
I owe him more than he knows.
She felt so strongly that
her words are the only I've kept.
"You're the only one I
trust enough to tell".
I lied to her and never saw her again.
So as yet another sits before me,
eyes bright, smile soft
with a sweet song whispering away between us,
I can no longer find any solace
in the comfort of the lie.
