3WW: kissed/killed

Million Time Unnoticed
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -

A million bright stars
went unnoticed and time stopped
the night you killed me.

Whoops, meant to type “kissed.”
Freudian slip? No, just truth.
I died the night we kissed.

    Linda - EEEK!!! You scared me. Is this a bad love, or a wonderful, overwhelming love? No need to really answer me, but . . . I just got scared, that's all. :P

    Very humorous and yet there is an darker element there of whether this this love is good or bad.

    with a bible full of meaning.
