Sat back, tea and biscuits,

the usual hang out spot.

Bean bags, full of people,

horror movie on the screen,

then I met her.



Short and quick, all

the time the conversation

lasted. A pretty face almost

knocked me out with a snooker

club. My heart leapt with fear



The whole night following,

my eyes were locked in place.

Something about her confused

me, and when she smiled

I lost all thought.



We talked more each day,

each conversation adding more

wonders to this girl.

Upon hearing her longing

for another man, I sank.



She talked of him with

such passion, I vowed

to help this beauty

find her beast, though

want found a place within.



2 hours was all it took,

her smile, her embrace,

the laughter that filled

the room around her.

She had to be mine.



Each moment spent

at her side filled me

with joy, her eyes

enough to drown

any man, myself included.



We sat at the river bank,

alone at last, i thought,

when, all at once, two

others came along, filling

me with dread and fear.



She grabbed my hand,

so quick and softly, her fingers

intertwined, she pulled me away,

away from myself, the world around

us, she saved me from my own fear.



I thought that things never

ended well when you

fall for someone like her,

so hard and so fast,

but the beauty, found her beast.
