Truth Poem

Becca gazed around. All her sparkly blue eyes could take in was a shiny table with two chairs pulled up to it with apple-cinnamon scented candles lit upon it. As she got in the room she could smell the candles, "Mmmm ,it smells so good." she murmurs to herself. At that moment, the man of her life brings her some of the food he had spent all evening trying to perfect. Food that would make their first date perfect and then he sat it down on the table.

Becca walked a little farther. She bent down and picked up a dozen of her favorite flowers in a shiny silver wrapping; yellow roses. She put them in a vase with water, that made her really happy. She had this warm feeling inside. She had her favorite scent of candles lit, her favorite flowers right in front of her, and the man of her dreams made her dinner how could things get any better? The man she thought she loved looked in her sparkly blue eyes and said "Baby, I'm really sorry, but I think we need to go our seperate ways."

Becca ran outside in the cold and damp night, fell to her knees, tears running down her face and cried out, "Why? I thought you loved me! You put ideas in my head what did I do?" as she looked up in the moonlit sky with clouds passing by she told the one she loved and cared about goodbye.
