The Withered Lover

He’s waiting for the chemically beautiful girls.
The kind only after hours provide.
Appealing only by a certain light.
With fake hair and a natural color is replaced by something in a numbered bottle.

Our Hero, trapped inside a young man’s body with a boyishly handsome face.
To him, it’s just a vanity scar.
Alongside the piled clothes and on top wrinkled sheets.
Hiding pain just one night with a nameless face can fix.

Where is your true love, stranger?
Between legs that go for miles?
No.

Is it worth it?
A short time for false bliss,
Only to wake up alone and wonder why?

Get out while you can.

Hey Mariah,

Once again you make me very proud of you.

With your ability to know the real treasures of passion and the wisdom to keep the true treasures for love in todays world...well..I am so VERY PROUD of you.

Great way to spread the word too.

Miss you my sweet Mariah,

Love,
MOM

Is it worth it?
A short time for false bliss
Only to wake up alone..
and wonder ... why?

Sometimes false bliss is all someone can handle.
Very sad.. but I think a part of life and growing. Even if we don't know we are doing this.. falling into this false bliss.
Great write..
