Claudia

you're a lush
she says
I call her a whore
under my breathe
she smokes too many cigarettes
way too many cigarettes
her last boyfriend had a big dick
have you ever seen the damage a big dick can do to a pussy?
Oh, you can tell when a big dick has been there before you
you can see it
I knew her, when she was a sweet little girl
innocent
I would take her pants off and she would blush
and her pussy was still intact
a big dick can ravage a pussy
believe me
-I've seen it
now, when I take her pants off
I see where she's been
she looks away and blush
I take her hand
then she smiles
a smile to die for
a smile to kill for
this thing called sex, I could do without
its not the orgasm that keeps me coming back
no, its not the tits
nor the ass
nor that pussy of hers
warm and inviting (though I wish it would invite only me)
no, its that smile that keeps me coming back
knowing that I pleasured her
I made her happy
then we finish
and she rolls off
we lie, foot to head, looking at each other
I need a cigarette
she says
I call her my love
under my breathe
she lights up
turns her head to the window
her feet to me
rests her right forearm on her forehead
her left arm on her belly
her left hand holding the smoke
an ashtray resting peacefully between her naked breasts
