~~~ Be afraid, you should be for there are horrors lurking in the night. Capture them in a poem starting with just those words.... 'Be Afraid'.~~~  I'm doing this one! Right ON!


Be afraid.... because I got you now.

To take care of you is my solemn vow.

It was luck you caught my eye,

"No baby, please don't cry."


I know it was fate that brought you to me,

This is something I'll make you see.

You're skin's so soft, but your makeups a mess,

So pretty you are I must confess.


To you I will never lie,

I promise this until you die.

I can feel the heartbeat in your chest,

Oh dear, your emotions, what a mess.


These are the things I'll say to you,

When I can get you away from your crew.

Destiny was ours in that Hamburger Shack,

Where just a glance made that a fact.


I'll follow you home so you're alone.

Sleep my precious, turn off your phone.

I vow to make you my lovely wife,

It will be the best and last week of your life.
