The Bowler's Blood Curdled Affair
Didn't know what to expect when reading the first chapter
Material soon got familiar as time went on
Not sure if it was by accident or by careful design
Unclear if the universe had a sense of humor
Or that full of ironically malicious intent
Sometimes, the players just fell into their stereotypical roles
Based on what society and Hollywood has deemed them fit to play
Or just biologically pre-disposed to fall into certain gender traps
Vulnerable and cynical younger woman
Looking for love, but fearful of what she'll find in reality
A relaxed playboy strutting onto the scene
At the right moment in time to open her eyes and senses
Wasn't sure what to make of him and her attraction to him
Fell into a fun and relaxed relationship that evolved over time
A story that's older than dirt and sin combined
Boy meets girl; wines and dines her into physical oblivion
Knocking down the concrete walls encased around her heart
With a metaphorical sledgehammer and some snake oil charm
Seducing her into giving her mind and body over to him
Don't know if it was his intention to either have a girlfriend or a groupie
Treated her like she was a little bit of both at times, disposable whenever needed
Her heart soon followed into his clutches when their weekend sessions
Grew more and more intense with each passing week
Hard not fall for someone who said and did all the right things
Checking things off his playlist as he just scratched his usual Neanderthal itch
If that was all this saga was about, it would've been another dime store tale
A speedbump of a novella involving a one sided love affair meant to end abruptly
Well, aware that there was more to this deceptive screenplay than met the eye
Just don't have the desire to figure it out; especially after the last scene
Getting dropkicked in the heart not a way to spread cheer of any kind
Mr. Smooth Operator lacked the finesse to make his exit strategy
It was cruel, callous and rather pedestrian for a creative soul
Hard to erase him from thoughts and those random daydreams of past sessions
Will get better in time, until he was nothing but a distant memory
In the meantime, relocating into the witness protection program of bowling alleys
Need a clean break; even if it's doing her favorite pastime in another town
Ready. Set. Strike!
