Her. She. Me.
I stared at her, Her feminine physique looking back. I couldn’t tear my eyes away.
As the corners of my mouth turned up, She mimicked the smile, And bit her lip slightly.
There was something very artificial But very natural about her And all I wanted was the keep her there.
Her strong calves were accentuated by her high heels And the shimmering nylons over hairless legs made my heart beat wildly. I couldn’t hinder my growing arousal.
The ample chest hidden in her blouse Was begging to be touched But I refrained.
Her made up face smiled back at me And attempted to speak At the same time I did.
We both chuckled nervously and her Barbie-esque body was no match For my Ken.
I slowly stepped away Removing my façade And watched as the smile diminished from our visage.
Off came my heels. My skirt. My blouse.
My made up face Taunted the Adam’s apple That was hidden beneath my high necked top.
She hadn’t a name, A story, a history, But I knew she deserved to be known.
I wanted to run away From the shame in our eyes For I knew I would never know her outside of my reflection.
