She ravished me,
over and over,
again and again,
she played the charade,
accepted my gifts,
giving me no quarter
with her own delicious wares.

And when the smoke cleared,
she had disappeared into thin air,
& it hit me,
I realized I was just another,
she really didn't care.

The notches on her posts
were too many to count,
it looked like I was the fresh one,
carved near the top,
******.
