I was there when your paths first crossed
I was a seat away
And wished I could be closer
I enviously watched your moves
That opened her crimson lips for smiles
I watched painfully
As you convinced her to have your digits
When the destination reached
I could do nothing,
‘Cause you had taken steps ahead of me
One last time
I admired her angelic face
And her near perfect shape
I wished I had come ahead of you
To clinch that coveted trophy
For my cabinet was empty and dusty
I saw your lewd stare
Pierce every ounce of her
And felt sorry for her innocence
Who didn’t know-
That you were a wolf
That devoured every single animal of her kind?
The other day in town
I bumped into her
Her radiance was no more
I knew you had done your job
To you, she had just been some running water
That you never touch twice
I grabbed the moment
And told her the truth
She was rueful, but the damage had been done
I promised to mend her broken heart
If only she’d give me the chance to
