My ballgown midnight black
Features hidden with a lace mask
My lips painted scarlet red
The clicking of my stilettos the only words being said
My eyes twinkle with mirth as I smirk at a pair of hauntingly familiar eyes
Yours search mine with hint of stunned surprise as snow begins to fall
And you find yourself unable to resist my beck and call
"May I have this dance?" You ask
"What a gentleman" I muse, impressed
"I'm always a gentleman" you say as you take my hand
Pressing them to your lips, a gentle kiss
Twinkling stars in the winter sky
My façade slowly melting away
Vulnerable in the moment
Wanting to stay
I grit my teeth in frustration
I'm only here for satisfaction
My idle hands start to wander
Our bodies pressing closer
Lips, tongue, teeth, neck
As I oblige to all your requests
To me you are just another conquest
Hot breath clouding the air as we find our quick release
Leaving you there haphazardly
Turning around, walking away abruptly
"Wait, love, what's your name?" You call from behind me
My disposition already cracking
Tears already falling
Grabbing my wrist and pulling back in
Your chest still heaving, your pulse still racing
I tear my arm from your grasp
Trying to speak but only making strangled gasps
Desperately clutching your collar as I give you one last searing kiss
Then push you away, disappearing into the darkness
My face contorting in pain
Ripping my mask away
Blindly running towards nowhere
Somewhere, anywhere, but here
This wasn't supposed to happen
Why do I feel so broken?
The hurt in his features still so prominent
Why is it even pertinent?
This game is no longer my game
I wanted to tell him my name
I wanted to stay
But it was too late
