The Attractive Woman (ballad style)

This is a small ballad-like type of thing I had to do in my literature class. Thanks to Ilan Cruz for collab.

T’was a common night in May

When a woman came to me

While in my bedroom I lay

As attractive as could be

 

She had her own glass of wine

And a sip she’d have me take

But I felt a certain fright

And I ran for safety’s sake

She did not walk fast a bit

As I went across the hall

Static smiles so unfit

There I saw my family all

I am coming, she would sing

With some sort of warning tone

Such a shiver that would bring

I kept running on and on

I walked carefully down the stairs

Trying to get to the front door

But my front keys were not there

So I ran a little more

Looking for another exit

To the kitchen then I got

There I held habits preterit

But right then it mattered not

Then my foot on something slips

And I fell down to the ground

She got me, gave me a kiss

And to numbness I was bound

Author's Note

I know the tenses don't match in some of the stanzas. Please suggest something, if you will.
