Once upon a time in bed
A boy woke up and spied
The girl he loved was wide awake
And lying by his side.


The night was cool and cloudless, this
He noted with surprise.
He turned t’wards her and saw the moon
Reflected in her eyes.


He closed her eyes and kissed them, and
He kissed her fingertips.
He kissed her cute, determined nose,
And kissed her on her lips.

He held her hand in his and said
“ I love you, don’t you see
That I’m the only one for you,
And you’re the one for me?


I love you true, you know it too,
Oh Sue! It’s meant to be.
You know it too, I know you do,
So will you marry me? ”


The girl, she did not say a word
But, by some private whim,
Pretended that she hadn’t heard
Or even noticed him.


He tried again, “ I love you Sue.
I swear to you I’ll try
To be the kind of man you want,
To be the perfect guy. ”


But still, the boy, he was ignored.
It seemed she did not care.
The boy, he sighed and stroked her cheek,
And stroked her long, black hair.


Although she was so mean and rude,
The boy did not berate her.
He told her, " You can take your time
To think, I’ll ask you later. "


He smiled at her, and lovingly
He bent and kissed her cheek.
But she, so proud and adamant
A girl, she did not speak.


He pulled the knife out of her neck,
And saw the wound was deep.
And so he kissed her lips again,
And then went back to sleep.
