one dark and stormy night,
i awoke froma dream
with such an awful fright.
i cried and screamed
but you were nowhere in sight.
the dream i awoke from...
the dream that scared me so...
my heart beat like a drum
and i had never felt more alone.
from my past, a ghost had come.
i glanced again at the ghostly form,
straight from my dream, it was my love.
i told myself to remain in scorn,
anticipation won out and i gave him a hug.
he waited patiently to tell me of his journ.
ha said he'd nearly died
but it was my love that kept his alive
i laid back and sighed,
"is love always this divine?"
then he asked me to be his bride.
i told him no.
i said i was too young.
he irritably said "so?"
"to love is to wed"
i cried and had to let him know.
"i love you"
i replied
those words i said
made me cry,
but, "we cannot wed".
"i understand" he said
"i love you too
but in deep waters you do tread
when you refuse me
your life hangs by but a thread."
i gasped again
for then he held a knife
it cut my shin
and almost took my life
i awoke then, knowing i'd paid for my sin.
