Poem Title:
Poem
It was a cold and rainy night. The stars were shining bright. It seemed as if the world was at a pause and not a person was in sight. I sat quietly in my car, the sound of music I heard blasting from a far. I opened my door, stepped out slowly and looked around. Now suddenly the music stopped, not a word is heard, not even a sound. I turned my head, looked over my shoulder, I saw a woman running. She was wearing a white gown. I couldn't help but wonder why this woman running flaunted such a frown. I followed her footsteps, I listened for the sound. Running through the darkness, one question came to mind, Who would leave this woman? Who would be so heartless? How can someone leave her when she is so obviously distraught? Abruptly a sound was heard. I came to a stop. I listened closely. It was a gunshot. Now fearful I stood. I began to run as fast as I could. I ran so fast, I could hear my heart beating. I came upon my car and noticed a woman bleeding. She was gasping for air. Someone had shot her and left her to die there. It was as if they didn't even care. She reached for my hand, whispered softly to me "never trust a man" At that moment her hand dropped. I knew her heart had stopped. I looked at her white gown now dripping red. I I cried to myself and pondered what she had said. This could be me. I could be lying here dead. I will remember her words always. They will haunt me for the rest of my days. This moment I will never forget. No man should ever be such a threat. This was the day my life would change. From this day on I would never be the same. The lesson I learned here, never have such fear. Fear that will keep me from being free. I learned that I can be happy just being me.
