A sweet smile waits for her by the door

He pulls her in as if they’ve met before


He laughs at his own jokes

Puzzled that she just doesn’t get it


He leads her to his room 

(What a quick exit)


Kisses her before she can say no

Doesn’t hear her when she wants to go home


But they tell her that she's lucky

To have been in the arms of the golden boy 

That everyone calls “lovely”
