White Wolf Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

I'm hoping this image is worth coming here for because the poem certainly isn't! 

And Then It Stopped

We were so in love from an early age
What happened my dear where did it go wrong?
A sweetheart you were the girl next door
From the first time I met you it didn't take long

To be head over heels and lost in your charms
I could not believe when you agreed to a date
You told me to ask for your father's permission
I got a cold hard stare as I promised not to be late

We went out to clubs and danced until twelve
I suddenly realized I said I'd have you home by eleven
We rushed straight home to find your father waiting
He was fixed and gazing up as if praying to heaven

I knew from that moment I had done my dash
He raised his hand after my look it had dropped
So he spoke instead through clenched teeth at me
That was the night our love affair had stopped


3~July~2017
