Love Poem: Beautiful Nightmare

Beautiful Nightmare

When I met you at my door,
I was hit in the core...
The way you looked at me,
Made it feel like it was meant to be...

My face turned red,
just like you said...
And even when I called you a jerk,
You still had a smirk...

I was extremely shy,
but you were very sly.
Gave me the butterflies...

I appeared to be quiet...
but really, I had a lot to say,
Just didn’t know in what way...

When you talked to me,
my heart filled with glee...
I felt so happy,
that someone shared...
Showed that they actually cared...

We would talk day and night,
Never wanting you out of my sight...
You never made me frown...
You were my sun that never went down...

You had different sides...
You were scary but funny...
And at the same time you called me honey.

You are very slick...
I fell for your tricks.
Always saying the sweetest things,
like calling me baby boo, 
saying I miss you and love you...

You were always such a charmer,
like a knight in shining armor...
but you were as slick as a snake,
and you were a fake.
Sly as a fox,
never broke out of your box..

We broke apart...
That was a new start.

You were still in my head,
But I walked ahead...
Enough has been said...

By the time this has been read,
I will already be ahead...
You popped in my mind,
maybe once or twice...
But those thoughts were as cold as ice..

You gave it a try...
But it’s time for you to move on,
So let go of my hand... 
And walk this land...
