Day 17: Affection or is it affliction



Affection:
Individually wrapped chocolates
bounded by tinfoil.
Unwrap and dip in flavour oils
spoiling her taste buds.   

A dozen roses;
redder than her lipstick
that covers her luscious lips.
She puts them with the others,
adding to the bed of roses.

Jewellery covers her like armour,
flashing and glittering,
replacing ones from before.
Given to her by other men,
who once held onto her heart.


Sweet kisses on her forehead,
hands caressing her cheeks.
Rhythmic words of love
describing what she means to me.
Affection only seen in movies,
but then she said,
I wanted the type of affliction you see in movies.
