Once Upon A December

Just a story.

Soft powder flurries from the sky,
As I gazed out my window,
Waiting for the familiar sound,
Of his jet black Corvette.

Tonight was the night,
James and I would become one,
Tonight was the night,
We'd leave this dump for good.

Breaking through the white sheet,
Two lights slash through,
Focusing on my window;
Letting me know it's time.

Snatching my suitcase,
And a few necessities,
I sneak out the back,
And into the bitter cold.

Ducking and diving branches,
I race myself into his open arms,
Breathing in deeply his scent,
And the rich night air.

Lights flash on from an upstairs window,
We are in his car within a heartbeat,
Soon speeding down 164;
Once Upon A December.

I think this was really awesome!! A fast, cool getaway from all of the troubles, and run away with your one true love. It's so romantic. Man, wish a girl would do that for me hehe. Beautiful poem :)

It's so cute, and it paints a wondrous picture. :) I adore the ending; it's perfect. Great poem. Glad you put it on the site. Gotta love teen angst poems that don't suck!!
