Smart Lady

by lakecat

I like to think I'm a smart lady
nobody's fool
but when I met him I fell like a ton of bricks
completely besotted
he was tall, sleek and cool
I was putty in his hands
when he snapped his fingers, I ran
until the tables turned
not so smug now are you pal
now he's my toy and I
take him out and play with him
he's too pretty to throw away
but every now and then
I tremble inside
with a hunger I don't understand
my pretty man doesn't fill it
nothing does
not so smart now
tall, sleek and cool
and empty
