A feeling
of desolation about her got his attention
He
thought he could resuscitate her with his affection
He was
vulnerable to her outward china fragility
Too fast
too soon he showed pliability
Her
rabbity way of nibbling her lower lip was popular with him
Soon to
fall in love, he was seized by a romantic whim
From the
tentative holding of hands, necking and fumbling around
To the battle
of zippers and buttons, excursions to ghost-towns
He barely
saw her conscience hung over her fireplace
She colonized
him with her smooth words, pearls, and fancy lace
Watching
him light-headed and foolish in her presence
Her eyes
sparkle with glee and vanity immense
Not lost
to her that he is a man to love
Bizarre,
how heartache once made something inside her just shut off
So she
plays him like a sport while he tries to stitch her
Little
does he know of the corpses stowed away in her freezer
A
love-sick dreamer forgoes to see
The red
that she painted the city in with her killing spree
They
celebrate their twisted fates drinking margarita
Delicately she murders him, whispering in his
ears "mea culpa"
