A poem for Duff’s writing challenge using the words Blue Cavalry and Razor.

You took delight in your cruel actions.

You felt me?

A poem for someone very important.

You can make a kiss as cruel as you can make it loving.

Although her cheeks were already as red as the crimson rose, she moved forward and closer to the boy.

A raw piece of confessional poetry.

Trust me, it works.

Maria keeps Shelley company while waiting for Robert and Christopher to show up. Robert, for his part, is amazed at Shelley’s reaction when he pulls into the driveway. Together, they realize they still have hurdles to overcome when unexpected events continue to throw them together.

Donnie openly shows his interest in Shelley,which only makes her see him as a stalker. That same night, Robert is called on the carpet at work and over the next few days becomes very distant with Shelley. However, her confusion is put to rest when she overhears a conversation at work.
