She dressed up like a dream
and texted him that he missed out
she was drunk and he somehow was not

To this day she can’t figure out
exactly what she was looking for
or how she ever loved him

She knew it was time to leave
when he powdered his nose
then asked if she knew how to suck

Sitting thigh to thigh as he
gave her the good and bad news
she was ten years his senior

He twisted her around, a display
for his friends at the party
looking back, they were unimpressed

She knocked on his front door
hoping Prince Charming would answer
not taking notice it wasn’t a
castle

She took his number when he insisted
then laughed it off with friends
then she called him when they all
hooked up

The hat as made herself went missing
much like her self-control
when he offered to be her hero
for the night

She wore white glasses and a frown
attracting both marriage proposals
and drinks without strings attached

The night they crossed paths
she was too drunk to notice
that she had made herself an
easy target
