Gut Feeling

On that dark and dismal road
 just me and him. 
Inside me, something is screaming  
can you hear me
will you hear me
do you dare me
weird, supernatural aura
intangible, formless
floating there in my gut
scattered butterflies
fluttering 
frenzied
frantic
in a dark deep barrel
there is no escape.
As we pass by each other
he raise his hand,
a threat.
everything within me stopped
silenced by fear
petrified. 
He laughed mockingly
and walked on.
