W***e.

It's actually half true. It's about my brother's long time girlfriend that he recently broke up with.

She holdin' onto his heart with her nails sinking through.

Striped extensions, and eyeliner chunks.

Bikini strings, and body paint.

She wears plastic pearls, because she says they're classy.

She dyes her hair bleach blonde, because she says it's edgy.

She's a queen alright.

Queen of the local scene show.

She shakes, jumps, and dances for every boy there.

Her jeans fall just a little to lure them in.

She smiles to seal the deal.

One smile leads to another,

then to a flirt, then to a kiss, then to a blowjob in the bathroom.

What happens next is her little secret.

She's holdin' onto his heart, and to my last nerve.

"We could be sisters in law!" she shrieks.

Sisters In law?

Sisters with Sharon Stone's trashy cousin?

Sister with the town carosel?

'Cause boy she gets around.

She's holdin' on to his heart with her nails sinking in.

It's their wedding day, and I'm the maid of honor.

She's in her fake pearls. Something old.

Her unusually short wedding dress. Something new.

For once some underwear. Something borrowed.

And some new highlights. Something blue.

I hold onto my brother's hand for dear life.

I look at my mother who's shaking her head.

He's not serious, he is serious. He can't seriously be serious.

They exchange vows...and as she says I do, a little boy stands up.

Blond hair, blue eyes, and rosy skin to match the now blushing bride.

She runs down the aisle. Flowers now in my hand. My brother watches after.

With hands so consoling, mother, brother and sister now leave the chapel.

She's holdin' on to his heart, and he's found the clippers.

Her .99 cent nails are gone.

Her hair is brown now.

She wears sweaters.

She sold all her body paint.

She's now a checkout girl at the local A and P.

I like this one a lot. You do a good job of writing ironically.
The poem is done with class, thats unrefined but completely solid.
Making fun of the subject, obviously entitled a "w***e".

She smiles to seal the deal.

One smile leads to another,

then to a flirt, then to a kiss, then to a blowjob in the bathroom.

What happens next is her little secret.

That was really good.
Honestly I like the whole damn thing.
Keep writing.
