you used to fit like a lace gown
pearl buttons
a sash of ivory satin.
you made me beautiful
resplendent in my bliss.

now you're just a cheap leather dress
barely concealing my flaws
no buttons please
just a zip for the ease.

i'm getting old.
my little red knickers almost new.
this act is borrowed.
and my heart ice blue.

i do. do you?
