Nightmare



waking up from a nightmare
remembering the bulge
of the man as i cried
tears falling from my eyes
one...two....three.....
leave a message after the beep
or so to speak
my voice clashed
as I gripped for dear life
just stop I wanted to say
but couldnt because I was frozen
young and alone walking on the street
because there was no where else to sleep
for me..... my eyes took over control and cried
as i finally spoke
just please leave me alone
you are not the first and i know you will not be the last
