Knowing
nothing,
Asks for
too much.
Alone
crying,
Craving
touch.
Stumbled
on him,
For just
a night.
The day
was dim,
Was that
a light?
Is that
a smile?
Can it
be feigned?
After
these miles,
Through
all this rain?
What if
it's true?
What does
it mean?
Just someone
new,
Who will
demean?
Just pain
again,
A broken
heart.
Nothing
to gain,
Not a
new start.
But then
her fears,
Are sent
aside.
Crying
new tears,
A hope
arrives.
Bringing
her smiles,
Touching
her heart.
Across
the miles,
May a
love start?
October
came,
He was
still there.
This wasn't
a game
He was
laying there
His voice
steady,
Despite
his drinks.
He is
ready,
At least
he thinks.
To her
he says,
"I do
love you"
Now she
wonders,
Can it
be true?
The timing,
bad
The night,
drunken
But now
he had,
Three
words spoken.
Her shocked
heart skipped
She was
stunned!
Her brain
then quipped,
"It's
just the Rum"
The utterance
Was quite
sincere
This assurance
He made
it clear
The words
changed her
From that
day on,
She was
so sure
They would
go on
On that
one night,
Fear subsided.
She knows
it's right.
Not one-sided
But fear
comes back,
When she's
alone
This cold
attack
It chills
her bones.
To cure
this cold,
She must
be told.
