A Modern Day Love Story

Today a man I just met 

Told me that I'm

Beautiful. 

I almost believed him

Almost.

But then he told me what he wanted to do to me.

And that he wanted 

My body under him

Legs spread wide.

And I thought 

Ah, he will say anything

To make me agree.

Then he grew a conscience. 

Maybe because he liked me.

Maybe because he didn't want to lie.

He has a wife. 

And when I refused his advances politely;

Karma after all, I explained.

I don't cause pain, only have it heaped on me.

He understood. 

And left me with these words

'Even though you're not for me

You are beautiful 

Don't ever forget it. 

I don't believe him.
