One Friday night I was out having a couple of drinks and this girl walked in

To be honest, she was pretty

But she was so pretty that I saw right through her as if her foundation was made of windex

Her lipstick looked like the blood left over from her last heartbreak

Her heels were so high it seemed like she was trying to poke her head above the cloud that was raining on her parade

Her entire package made her look like she was attending a masquerade ball

Trying to hide from her insecurities that she would eventually drown with alcohol

About an hour later, that pretty little dress tried talking to me

But I had no interest in being her rebound when I know I’m someone’s three point shot

All I could think about was how she got herself here

So I imagined saying to her

Let me guess, you met a guy at a bar like this

When he looked at you, he made you feel like the only girl worth seeing

When he spoke, you melted into the chocolaty velvet of his words

Then spilled over like fondue when he dipped into you

When he touched you, the sensation made you convulse 

And quiver multiple times in one night, he controlled your pulse

He made it skip when wanted you, stop when he needed you

Then when he was done he crushed it and now you're bleeding

So you thought you'd come in here and have a few drinks

Have a guy buy you more and make him think

He's going home with you tonight

It worries me that you actually just might

You see the last guy made you think he felt lucky to get hired

But soon he found a job that paid higher

Leaving you feeling feel like a job opening but you aren't taking applications

You aren't conducting interviews, you just hope anyone will take it

You're giving away free internships to a man with no qualifications

So while the job may be filled, you still feel vacant

All for what? 

Those sweet nothing's he whispered when he first met you?

The empty promises of love when he's inside you?

That 30 minutes of warmth when he cuddles you the next morning?

And you wonder why they love you only when they're feeling horny

So the cycle continues

You probably looked in the mirror and told yourself the next guy would be different

But if its anything like the way men salivate at the pop of a woman’s booty before twerking became cool, its nothing new

Of course i didn’t tell her any of that

Instead I just let that pretty little dress walk away

Because her lack of self respect is none of my business

I just hope she realizes that if she wants the dogs to stop playing with her heart

She needs to stop acting like their chew toy
