Poem
I hope you find the one in your dreams But on-line romance may not be all it seems Let me tell you the tale of Sue And I hope it is a lesson for you For many months she contacted this guy He was tall and handsome and sure caught her eye They decided to meet for a real live date Sue was so excited she really couldn’t wait They had such a fun time, her heart was on fire This amazing man had fueled her desire They started to meet really regularly He even went to her mother’s for tea Flowers and candlelight dinners were his thing Soon he got her an engagement ring She was blinded by his devotion And wedding plans were quickly put in motion Things were moving all too fast Her friends were worried about his past Then he started to turn quite jealous Didn’t like her talking to other fellas He started to follow her everywhere she’d go He turned from boyfriend into her foe If she didn’t answer his mobile call He’d go crazy and his fists would fall But she was blinkered by his attention His violent past he failed to mention One day his anger turned to a violent rage He was like a wild animal trapped in a cage His fists flew like bullets from a gun A human punch bag she’d become For many weeks in hospital she did lay I can picture her battered face to this very day This monster is now back in prison His actions they can never be forgiven Things are not always as they seem So be wary of the person behind the computer screen All I ask my friends is that you are aware Remember ‘Sue’s Story’ and please take care Some of this poem is fiction sadly some of it is fact Jan Allison 9th May 2014
