Come close, <br />And I would run for the hills, <br />Keep your distance, <br />And I shall play for the thrills, <br />Let your guard down, <br />And I shall make my move, <br />Love is an illusion, <br />the devil did approve! <br /> <br />So the sun chirped and the birds shone, <br />And in limbo I was, <br />beneath the shell, alone. <br />This is when I met her, <br />She gave that exquisite vibe, <br />I flirted and I teased <br />her, whom mere words cannot describe. <br /> <br />Unaware that this game was already lost, <br />I had unwittingly paid the cost. <br />This game had its downside, <br />My heart was beating outside. <br /> <br />I turned to the devil, <br />'I would rather live in hell', <br />'Where do you think you were till now? ' <br />With a chuckle he did tell. <br /> <br />I don't know when, I don't know how, <br />My head was not the clearest, <br />But I couldn't care less now, <br />I had met my lady dearest.<br /><br />Hank Moody<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/karen-9/
