Plainclothes Aphrodite


we went to the club
   
    random, ordinary scene.

nothing here worth staying for

but we had some drinks

    then went our seperate ways.

in the bathroom, i saw

a femme fatale so sweet

    she grinned as she swept her lipstick on

it was aphrodite, in plainclothes.

her eyes flickered like electrical sparks

she dared me

to follow

and I did.

i
    didn't
        see
            what
                they
                    warned
                        me
                            about.

i didn't see it when she put her crimson lips on,
i didn't see it when she grinned.
fangs like daggers, pointing straight
aching for my skin.

but this did not deter
of course not
it was too late for me
i made a mental note of what i wanted on my tombstone
then said 'fuck it.'
no one can read my thoughts but her,
and she's on the verge on sucking me dry.

i loved her
amazing aphrodite vampiress
i wanted to make out with her in that bathroom
taste the cloves she'd been smoking on her tongue.

but the dead of night, hid the dying
and no one heard my tears of joy
when she took my soul away.
