Startled

by Sarah Ann   Apr 15, 2006


The knock at my door startled me
And I rushed to let him through
As crazy as it seemed and felt
He was gorgeous, that I knew

The look in his eyes startled me
But I still let it pass me by
I wanted him, I needed him
So bad, I don't know why

The sense of it all startled me
And yet I brushed it all away
His attitude; sweetness of words
Was enough to make me stay

And now it all still startles me
For he is standing at my door
Beneath his skin exists a monster
And I don't want him anymore

P.S: Down-voters need to get a life. Really...

    It seemed like reading the middle of a poem instead of a whole one. It didnt feel all that complete. It did attract attention, though witht hte title and kept it through the poem and the last stanza seemed the strongest.

    P.S I agree: Down voters get a life

    At first, I thought it was going to be another cheap love poem. But at the last stanza - the rest of the poem came into a complete picture. Very well written.

    This was kinda like reading the middle chunk of a poem.
    But i love the instinctive attraction and that i have to put my own thoughts into it.

    Very good peice, good flow thoughout and the similarity of the first line of each stanza works very well to pull the entire piece together.

    5/5
