A week had passed <br />And he had curled up inside his bottle <br />Shaken...no rocks! <br /> <br />He hadn't heard a word from Annie <br />And he feared the worst <br />He searched newspapers daily <br />For some word of her demise <br />But nothing... <br />Nothing but... <br />Sleepless nights...and blurry days... <br />When it finally happened, <br />He was so 'under the weather' <br />That he almost didn't notice <br /> <br />A poem...posted...by Annie Bell <br />'My Knight in Shining Armour' <br /> <br />He read...and cried...and drank.... <br />Read...and cried...and drank... <br />He gave himself crap for crying... <br />And then cried even harder... <br /> <br />Annie Bell..Sweet, sweet Annie Bell <br />Was still alive... <br />And by all appearances... <br />Living the life of Riley <br />On a beach in Hawaii... <br /> <br />If he left now...he would draw them right to her <br />And if he didn't... <br />She might well be gone <br />By the time he found her... <br />A chance he would have to take... <br />Because as long as her heart beat... <br />He knew he would be able to find her... <br />No matter what...<br /><br />Dee Daffodil<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/just-a-gumshoe-part-6/
