Faster than I could Mouth, "Stop"

Just walking home

Just in the dark

Just on the streets I know

Just passing by a stranger

Just an old man

Just asked me for my name

Just didn't think I had to answer


But I passed him

A little to quickly I guess

And he rapidly caught my arm

Gripped it

Sunk his grimy fingernails into my soft skin

Making mini streams of red

Pour down past my elbow


Tore my skirt 

Like it was nothing

Tore into me

Like I was nothing


And then, he was just -Gone-

But really, 

My sanity went with him too.
