The Memorable Date!

Blood stains on the white dress,
Her forehead is sheathed in sweat.
"Are you fine?", enquires her friend.
Trembling with irritation she yells-
"No, I'm screwed by my period!"
And her voice echoes in the *ladies* toilet.

*Tring-tring* - the phone rings.
It's her first date!
The white dress gets replaced.
She hugs her saviour-
Her best friend.

The cramps attack her abdomen,
As the continental dishes arrive;
The candle on the table slowly melts.
He strikes a conversation.
She puts on a facade of sheer delight.
"Your smile is so perfect", he compliments.

Her mind cannot remain sane.
She dislikes the taste of pretence.
A good-bye kiss seals the date,
And a new chapter ends.

She removes her heels,
And sits barefoot on her bed.
Her head murmurs sarcastically-
"Oh! What a memorable date!"
