Her heart ticked differently,

It was mellow but rather riveted

As though it had never been cherished

Except once, a long time ago

Back when she still believed.

She had never known a mother’s love;

No, she wasn’t orphaned at birth

But was sold to a peddler.

At the tender age of seven,

The world had turned against her.

Friends, she had none

Which was understandable

Since everyone she encountered

Seemed to have ulterior motives.

Imploration, to her, seemed absurd.

Nor had she ever adored a boy.

Falling in love wasn’t worth

The heartbreak

That would inevitably occur.

She had to protect her heart for her own sake.

In essence,

Never had she experienced love.

But that was her past

That was her story

Before in it I was cast.

She is a smart one indeed.

Having resisted my pull hitherto

But tonight, I shall love her with all my might

I shall give her a kiss so passionate

It would take her breath away and set her soul alight.

Yours,

Death.
