“In a room full of men

and all I can see is you,

even though you are not here.

I can feel you next me,

can hear the words you would

whisper if you could only see

what I am seeing.

These are the kind of men

that we scorn at.

The kind who think

that if a girl smiles their way

it means that they want them,

even though they are only

being polite. Two of these

men have already asked me

my age, my sign, a number

that they could reach me at.

They ask if I’m taken, if I’m in love.

Every answer is a lie,

a reply with a sarcastic

undertone that none can detect

because the vodka has already

taken over their common sense.

A lie, I say that my name is Jennie.

A lie, I say that I am an Aries.

A lie, I give them my ex’s number.

The only truth, yes I am in love.”
