Red Pyjamas

I loved him from the moment that we met,
I asked, move in with me? he said, you bet!
I bought him red pyjamas as my way
of showing that I'd like less sleep, more play.
At first he seemed embarrassed, which was cute,
but later said that yes, they seemed to suit
our situation – which was far from cool.
It took a while to find I'd been a fool;
for while he wore the reds with me to sin,
his other sweetie saw him wearing skin!
I ranted and I filled the air with screams,
he said, my love, it isn't what it seems,
but I was unconvinced, and so we fought.
He looked as though he felt that he was caught.
It wasn't long till he was moving on –
and what upset me most when he was gone?
I went through all his gear to have a look…
those 'jamas were the only things he took.
