the hellion's amour

a poem i made for my friend's homework about idioms (or what my friend and i call "idiots").

it was inspired by a not-so-unpopular story.

you might be able to guess after a line or two. it's not that hard to catch. :)

-----start------

a long , long time ago, i thought

a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

but now that i've gathered what i would have not,

come hell or high water, i'd fight for us.

sometimes, it may seem

cut the mustard, i cannot.

still, in the fight for your right,

i will succeed, doubt me not.

It's a cock and bull story

of how we've come this far.

This might crack someone up,

'coz it was close but no cigar.

we were at the parking lot back then,

your scent hit me like a truck.

well, let's cut to the chase,

i instantly fell, like a scmuck.

I was about to go on a frenzy,

but i didn't know what you did to me.

I was about to foam at the mouth,

but i took off, i did flee.

took a chance i did then,

and came back after the hunt.

i knew i was hell in a handbasket,

i should give myself a hard punt.

still, i took the risk,

a big leap at that.

i made friends with you,

took a bunny out of a hat.

then you knew what i am,

what we were,despite all warning.

you told me you didn't care

about any of my shortcoming.

Down to the wire it will be,

i told myself it could be.

such a thing of beauty, such happiness

could not be for me.

i'm bad to the bone,

such a horrifying monster.

i'm wanting elvis to leave the building,

i want this all to be over.

i don't want to put you in danger.

i love you too much to give that to you.

but this cloud don't have a lining in silver.

if it's not one thing, it's another.

ergo, i have to let you go.

lend me your ear, let sleeping dogs lie.

we can't continue, my dear,

or else you all shall die.

this is my farewell,

my last word and goodbye.

i love you, irrevocably.

in your hands, my heart will eternally lie.

-----end------
