Pretty Wrapping Paper

1. Wrapping paper: sometimes expensive
with fancy labels, depending on the occasion.

She is beautiful with her clothes on
all wrapped up-men see her and want her.

Eyes, deep ocean blue: men could drown
in the geographical center of her sea,

but she doesn’t let them swim,
she doesn’t let them drift in-just nearby.

2. Visible portions of skin glow
under a warm sunset sky-silver

full moon nights illuminate
her pouty lips: makes a man

want her-want to unwrap her,
touch her, breathe her,

taste her, feel her, see her,
be in her- fulfilling his fantasies.

3. He unwraps her: horrified,
not what he wanted-not expected.

His fantasy turned nightmare-accidentally
judging a book by her cover.

Deceiving dust jacket-lust jacket-a pretty wrapping
hides a jaded present unwanted: truth is

the scar-the flaw exposed, is where
her reality and his lies-collide.

4. He pretends it doesn’t matter when
he sees it-she pretends it doesn’t hurt

when he looks at her and says without
meaning-he loves her-unconditionally.

Conditional I love yous-pillars of meaningless sex
we can make love- if only you

keep your shirt on-turn out the lights and stay
partially wrapped, pretty still-flaw hidden.

5. She’s conditioned herself
to not feel a damn thing.

Scarred flesh-never touched,
a part of her that remains virgin still

He won’t touch her there-ever
she doesn’t touch it-doesn’t look at it.

Her heart and soul knows
not love only sex-empty and void.

6. Wrapping paper sometimes expensive,
with fancy labels depending on the occasion,

dust jacket: lust jacket hiding her flaws
pretty wrapping–a clever deception

until the naked truth is exposed,
men to come and go: men cum and go…
