Killing a man for dinner.

***
She is getting ready for a party
that lasts a lifetime.
She is sewing sequins on her skin,
and pasting glitter on her chin.
She is painting her lips into a smile,
hoping to fool them for a while.
She puts some stars in her eyes,
for them to shine and cover lies.
She tries to hide her inner-self,
so she can be someone else.
She pours her problems in a bottle,
and finds a man for a night to cuddle.
He will be gone like all the others,
like all the others that she smothers.
She is cutting an end to a party
that lasted a lifetime.
