Guest Appearance: Like Never Before

A day unusual, stormy and dark,

The sudden thunder, the occasional bark,

My words were silent, no single remark,

It was raining and pouring, like never before.

I saw her, standing by the road,

My heart went croaking like a toad,

My soul was wet, my spirits soared,

She looked so beautiful, like never before.

Warm was her glance, cold was the air,                            

There she stood n flirted with her hair,                    

And all I could do was stand and stare,                                    

She looked so amazing, like never before.                         

Suddenly she turned and walked towards me,                          

I already went weak down in my knee,                             

My heart was beating, fluttering and free,

I was addicted, like never before.

I stood up to her as she just brushed past,

What if she left, what if this was the last,

I had to act....as quick n fast,

I wanted her badly, like never before.

I stopped her walk, trembling with fear,

My eyes could see nothing, but I was in top gear,

Her face I saw then, so angelic n clear,

I melted in there, like never before.

I opened my umbrella, invited her in,

In the darkness all around, I could sense light within,

Would this be my first original sin,

A sinner I felt, like never before.

I held her hand, I looked her in the eye,

I could never leave her, never say goodbye,

It was time for me, to live or die,

I proposed to her, like never before.

She pulled back her hand and threw me on the floor,

She stomped away from there, it surely was a no,

Rejected and dejected, my heart felt the blow.

I cried out on the street, like never before

Abandoned by her, I felt half dead,

My spirits sunk just like my drooping head,

My eyes were weeping, they wept and bled,

I stood so hurt like never before.

My senses were numb,as I walked through the street,

I moved ahead, as I struggled with my feet,

A car threw me off, I could almost feel its heat,

I felt so dead, like never before.

I could see her now from the corner of my eye,

She rushed to me as I knew I was gonna die,

With a warm hug, I said her a final goodbye,

I knew I had loved her like never before.
