once i met a murderer

This is somewhat of a love story between a naive girl and a murderer.

Once I met a murderer. He was walking in the woods, his left hand grasping a bloody hammer. His eyes were of a dark dirt color and his hair was the same. He walked with a limp on his right leg. I walked past him and his hammer brushed against my cold frail fingertips. I looked back at him and he glanced at my hand. He mumbled some inaudible words and raised his hammer to the sky. I looked at him calmly and gave him a smile. 

Once I met a murderer, he was tall and thin with the sweetest eyes and smile in the world. He tugged on my dark red sweater and held my hand. We sat under the twinkling stars while he squished grapes on my face. He rambled about the world and his philosophy fervently. "The human condition is a son-of-b***h I tell you, all these unnecessities we have to live with, all the people we have to live with, all the stupid useless people we have to coexist with," he said in his typical monotone voice. I just sat and listened till it was dawn and the air whistled lullabies.

Once I met a murderer, we picked flowers on the meadow and he put one behind my ear. He declared that I was the most beautiful girl in the world and we climbed our favorite tree. I swung on the tire swing he made for me and sung to the heavens. I wished for more special moments like this - of absolute bliss. He kissed my cheek and told me he murdered two people earlier. I just smiled and he embraced me. He caressed my hair and we made love under our favorite tree.

Once I met a murderer, he killed thirty people and was taken away. He was gone and all my dreams ceased to be. Everything was mundane and life was bleak just the way it was before I met my lover. I was forced into court and testified his innocence. He was innocent and I believed it. He did nothing wrong and I believed it. I loved him and tears rolled down my cheek as he was locked away. He mouthed I love you before he disappeared and I loved him.

Remember how the Frankenstein monster (who wanted to be named 'Adam", yet was he? Who knows?)met that family of peasants, including an old, blind guy, De Lacey; his son and daughter, Felix and Agatha; and a foreign woman named Safie. The monster learns how to speak and interact by observing them.
He teaches himself how to be more...human. Yet he is a beast at heart; a beast with a sensitive side.
That's what reading this made me think of.Someone who is a monster, yet with a sensitive side.
Not a good choice for a young girl, though. If this is even a little bit true, be careful.Remember his other side, the one that is merciless, and cruel.
