I met you

red dress that is too tight from all angles
bust enhancer to help with what I lack
high heels that make my legs look lean
slick, glossy pout with Revlon #67
I walked out my apartment looking for love -  
love, or any such companion to make friendly
I dolled up and made myself look and act a part
that seemed to fit perfect in your back pocket

I was all that any hot tempered man
sitting on a bar stool, thinking about time
could ever dream of riding home in his truck

I went looking for love and only found disaster.
After all, I did wind up with you.

And that is where I end this passage -
and our sad situation.
