you ruined the party and i don't care

I have always loved
The masquerade ball -
A chance to dress up
As myself at last -
Last year I was Aphrodite.

Flirting the time away
A little bit heady with wine
The kind of flirting that says
I really want to see
Behind that mask of
Yours and then get
Naked and roll around
On the bed and
Scream and then
Next year we can wink
At each other across the room.

But this year I'm Cleopatra
And even though the masks
Are delightful -
Beautiful even
And the dancing is very fine -
Oh my nipples ache from
Rocking in the arms of
This momentary partner
