When a Country Girl meets a City Boy

When a Country Girl meets a City Boy


When I was a little girl, fairy tales  filled my head,
Dreams of love stories I read.
But as I grew, life showed its scars,
My heart turned tough, like stone and tar.

They said  love would come, just wait and see,
But  I laughed,  love  and I could never agree.
Then you appeared, a city boy in DC,
And I, a country girl from Jersey.

Unexpectedly,  our paths crossed  one night,
You stood tall, a captivating sight.
Your chestnut eyes, a captivating spell,
In that moment, my guarded heart rebelled.

I saw the good, the laughter you bring,
And realized you were  more than a passing fling.
Afraid to lose you,  I hesitated to believe,
But with each moment, my heart started to cleave.

You showed me love's qualities,  rare and true,
In your arms, I found a love anew.
With you, I  stand taller, stronger than before,
For in your embrace, I find solace evermore.

Together, we're  a perfect match, two as one,
A city boy and a country girl,  love won.
You've shown me dreams aren't just for  sleep,
With you, love's promises I'll always keep.


Who would've thought?
That our lives  would  intersect in such an unexpected way.
It's funny how the universe works sometimes.
You, navigating the  hustle of DC,
While I found the comfort  in the familiarity of good old Jersey.
Who would've imagined?
Two people, seemingly worlds apart,
finding common ground and connection.
Who would've guessed?
A city dweller and a country soul,
Coming together, despite the odds.
Yet here we are,
Embracing the beauty of our unique journey.
Creating our own story.

Love  you, Todd! <3

~*~Quicksand ~*~

You caught me in a surprise
I was not prepared for you.
Lost  within myself,
I fought with all my might,
But  I've stumbled and can't  find my footing.
Trapped in the suffocating grasp,
I struggle to breath,
Falling deeper into the abyss.

Like  quicksand, it pulls me  under,
Dragging me down,
Deeper,  with each futile attempt to escape.
I reach out for a lifeline,
But my strength fails me,
Drained by the relentless tide.

Exhausted, I surrender,
As the darkness engulfs me,
Dragging me further into the depths.
I'm submerged in the suffocating embrace,
Drowning in the  unforgiving quicksand.
