--------------------

One
The clock struck
He stood before the door
Asking for help
Again.

Two
Times he asked.
Before the sour man said
Yes, he would
Help.

Three
Days later they
Went out to a bar,
Trying to be
Seen.

Four
Pints of beer
It took before the first
Picture was taken
Of them.

Five
Times he put
His hand on the other's
To make them
Believe.

Six
Deep breaths later
He pulled back his hand
Fast as if
Burnt.

Seven
Times they went
Out before he started to
Question what was
Happening.

Eight
Sightings portrayed in
The papers. Eight nights spent
With this intriguing
Man.

Nine
Minutes, they say.
It takes to make up
Your mind about
Someone.

Ten
Seconds later his
Heart had forgotten about the
Ugly past they
Shared.

Eleven
The clock struck.
Almost midnight, almost over.
They Would not meet
Again.

Twelve
His heart was
Lost as the sour man
Closed the door
Forever.
