Love Poem: Misunderstood

Misunderstood

She looked so beautiful
in her evening dress -
her perfume blended so well
like a jigsaw pattern,
together with her smile.

I hugged her,
and kissed her cheeks.

My girlfriend witnessed the entire act;
she threw our Valentine's cake
at my face - that's not how
I anticipated to enjoy the cake,
like Christmas snowballs....

Her body swayed like a wrecking ball,
as she stormed out of the party. For a 
moment the room was dead silent - no
sound of music, glasses, or conversations
in the air, not even whispers of gossip.

My girlfriend didn't know that I was
having a moment with my sister.....
