THROW ME A BONE 

Throw me a bone 
Toss me some crumbs
I don’t know any better
I am young and I’m dumb.  

You asked for my number
Then took me to bed
I fell for your sweet talk
Everything that you said.  

A wife or a girlfriend
In New Jersey or Queens?
No future with you
You are living the dream. 

A ton of hot women
In the clubs every night
Hoping  to hookup
Start a family, a life. 

But, the guys at the bars
Remove their wedding rings
They’re out to connect
Looking for just one thing. 

A sublet apartment
A sofa, a bed
A walk up in SoHo
Is as good as it gets. 

A few hours of passion
Should I call you an Uber?
No invitation to stay 
To relax or sleep over. 

You locate your dress
Your purse and your shoes
A kiss on the cheek 
You got screwed ….. you’ve been used.
