Yet

I am a terrible man

Replete with terrible features

Too old for a hopeful youth

Too young to concede defeat... yet

And that was precisely how we met

 

A terrible woman

Wiping her knees from dirt and grass

Disenchanted and disaffected... yet

Complete with a smile

To purloin your sirloin

And you'd thank her for the chance

 

Improbable possibles

Impossible improbables

I looked around and I doubted

There were bookies taking bets on us

 

You fool,

You damnable child

And me

A man-child, **** you

 

Like sunset and sunrise

Our crossings be brief

But from time to time

When the weather and stars align

We meet

And call it Twilight

 

Just for some dumb ******* to turn into a sparkly vampire movie.

First write in a fairly long while... just cleaning the cobwebs out of my headspace. I don't expect this to be good - I hope I like it tomorrow.
