There once was a man,
Just him and his bones,
And most of his days,
Were spent all alone.

There was a woman he loved,
But was sure she didn’t care,
So he never spoke to her,
No, he didn’t dare.

But one day came by,
Where he spoke loud clear,
“I’m hopelessly in Love,”
He spoke, full of fear.

His nightmares came true,
His worst dreams alive,
The woman laughed,
His hopes dived.

He sniffled twice,
Tears close to pouring,
Because without her,
This life was just boring.

So he turned his back,
Not caring to think,
Where he was headed,
Or how far he would sink.

Then one day arrived,
A brilliant plan in his head!
Her life did not love him,
She only needed to be dead!

So he brandished a knife,
And dashed to her home,
Smiling the whole way,
While she answered her phone.

The woman spoke,
On the telephone line,
Across the town,
Beyond the great pines.

Three thousand miles away,
(It was a long way to run!)
Was the person she spoke to,
Her sister’s son.

They talked for a while,
About how love can surprise,
This is when the woman,
Opened her eyes.

She realized she loved him,
That man she had met,
The one that she mocked,
And she made a bet.

He probably still loved her,
But this was unknown,
Only one way to find out!
She decided to leave home.

She would go find this man,
Tell him “I love you!”
Then someone rang her doorbell,
And she didn’t know who.

She opened the door,
Oh me! Oh my!
The man that she loved,
Was right before her eyes!

“I love you! I love you!"
She very nearly spat,
He smiled and nodded,
“I’m here to help with that!”


He pulled out his knife,
Held it close and smiled wide,
The woman was confused,
As she stood at his side.

He jabbed the knife in,
Red juice on the wall,
She gasped and gurgled,
Then she did fall.

He placed her in bed,
And lay looking at her face,
The tears on his cheeks,
Running a race.

“Why do you cry?”
She spoke, as it seemed.
“Because,” he smiled,
“This isn’t a dream.”
