A story about a girl

	1

Fat stars were splattered across the sky,
Each one emitting a soft white glow;
I stood up and wiped my eyes dry,
From which my tears have ceased to flow.

I walked slowly in the moonlight,
Feeling the crisp grass beneath my bare feet;
Something told me everything would be alright,
Suddenly the air became clear and sweet.

My heart was free, my head felt clear,
The trees looked green even in the dark;
I started running; there was nothing to fear,
When quite suddenly, I heard a loud bark.

My magical spell dissipated in a flash,
My euphoria died, replaced by shock;
The creature was ugly, it reeked of trash,
Its eyes were yellow, cold as rock.

I took a step back as it advanced on me,
I tried to run, to escape from this beast
That ruined my moment of happiness, my glee,
I had to run, or I would be its next feast.

I turned on my heel and began to run,
The sweet air transformed into a fierce storm;
What is this, what have I done?
Once again, the tears began to form.

I felt its heavy breath down my neck,
A tingle went down my tired spine;
Every nerve hurt, I was a nervous wreck,
I ran harder, not taking a look behind.

My body could not take it any longer,
I collapsed on the cold hard ground;
This is the end, my life is over,
I laid here waiting to be found.

I listened for a stomp, but there wasn’t any,
I lifted my head and took a look around;
This was not nice, neither was it funny,
I dared not breathe nor make a sound.

I stood up after what seemed like forever,
Why wasn’t I devoured; how very strange;
Was it hiding, was it being clever?
Whatever it is, my life has been changed.

Far in the distance, I saw a huge lump,
I ran towards it, I was greeted by a curious sight;
It laid in a heap, on its head was a bump,
When it saw me, it whimpered in fright.

Up close, the monster seemed almost harmless,
I didn’t feel scared, I wasn’t afraid;
It yawned; I saw that it was toothless,
I bent down and patted its head.

The bump on its head was red and sore,
Hugging the monster, I sang it a song;
Soon after that, it began to snore,
I fell asleep on its tummy, but not for long.

I was awoken by a piercing scream,
The monster stood up with a clumsy jerk;
Memories came flooding back; was this a dream?
No time to think, the monster was going berserk!

A little girl came running frantically,
Her eyes were fixed on the monster’s;
At the sight of her, it yelped manically,
This is too much, I’m going bonkers.

Their hug was tight and never-ending,
The girl whispered something in its ears;
The sight before me was quite fascinating,
The monster had suddenly burst into tears.

I looked at the girl for an explanation,
I was told that the monster wasn’t real;
That it was a figment of her imagination,
But I saw it so clearly; its happiness I could feel.

They left me with my jaw open wide,
My body felt weak, my mind was a swirl;
Memories and logic began to collide,
I felt like I was in another world.

As I watched them vanish into the distance,
I heard joyful laughter from the sky above;
I realized the meaning of our existence,
Life is nothing without the magic of love.

Yeah.. the ending is weird but I couldn't think of anything to write.
Actually, the whole thing is weird.. hahah :]
I hope Mr T understands it.
