Authors Note: Ok This was a ballad I had to write in my Grade 9 English Course. When I read it over again I thought it went with Oblivion so HERE IT IS!...hope you like it...and the spacing is messed up , I tried to fix it but it didn't work:(
OH! and just a quick reminder if you don't like it please don't come out saying it was dumb (I've had someone freak out at me because they didn't like it, not very nice) however CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM is welcome!! :) Always want to learn:)
The Burglar, The Thief, The Cheat
He was a burglar, a thief, a cheat
robbing of riches was his guarantee
he could rob you in a single heart-beat
and leave you in horrified despair
She was a girl with nobilities crest
she lay asleep curled up on her bed
a single gold jewel lay upon her chest
as she slept, and slept the night away
she opened one blue eye, she had heard a sound
It was night about a quarter past twelve
the door had swung open, the wind howled around
the wind was silent through the willow trees
She jumped out of bed as quick as a hare
quickly ran down the darkening hallway
sprang into the room and saw who was there
he was the burglar, the thief, the cheat
With wondering eyes they gazed at each other
an unforgotten love from childhood days
was all they could remember and bother
As if one they turned white with ghostly horror
"I thought..." he started unable to think
"But you..." she mumbled tears flowing down her cheek
"You have not changed," he said with a small wink
"You have," she laughed wiping away her tears
The creek of a door sounded the alarm
"You shouldn't be here," she hissed backing away
"Run while you can," she whispered, "run to the farms"
with heavy eyes he smiled, "I'll be back, just you wait."
A month slowly went by, then another
yet every night she still waited for him
"He's not coming," said her only brother
yet she waited, and waited, and waited
At last great news came, he was coming home
but when he showed his sly wind ridden face
she knew he no longer wanted to roam
All he wanted was to know he had a home
When they finally reached her large brick house
they were greeted by swords and welcomed by fights
"Run," she whispered and he slipped away like a mouse
not knowing nor seeing the head man ran
"Where is he?" He shouted shaking her through
She pointed straight north, though he had gone south
"Running from battle? He's a coward too,"
and sent all his troops after the sly man
An hour past noon, she ran through leaves and brush
saw a stream of red blood and followed it
it was then, that moment she saw him in hush
and a sudden collide with fear
"Why was it him who was struck by the blade?"
"Why was it not me who was struck instead?"
"That is sweet," he said, "now where is that raid?"
"I shall take them with my sword! This very blade!"
How relived she was, to know he was alive
Many long years have passed since that day
They took a huge risk with a ferocious dive
now she lives happily with the burglar ,the thief, the cheat
