Behind Me
Walking,
Clicking the heel of my sneakers on the pavement
Of the cracked road.
Echoes from my feet and the pavement
Ricochet off of the buildings all around.
Street lights are the only thing keeping me warm
On this dark, december night.
Click, Click, Tap, Tap...
Sounds made by feel,
But not my own.
Behind me,
It seems.
I turn around,
Peak over my shoulder
To find nothing.
I turn around again,
And continue walking.
My echoing footsteps get dround out by the ones behind me.
I peek again,
A man in a suit stands there.
He is tall,
Long arms,
Long Long legs,
No face?
I turn,
Tell myself to keep calm.
I start out in a run
And a rustle comes from the trees,
I glance back,
Nobody is behind me.
The leaves in the woods,
Just to the left of me
Scream as they're crushed underfoot
As I stand, paralysed in the road.
I start to breathe hard,
To scared to move.
The streat light starts to flicker
And wink out after just a few moments.
Everything goes blank.
I pull out my phone
And dial my mom's number.
When she answers, all I hear is static.
