Halloween

As I sat home alone,
got a call on the phone.
It was someone I'd known.

His glaring eyes were staring at me
said, "You can't hide, wait and see.
Until death, you will live in misery."

I quickly hung up on this creep,
that night I just couldn't sleep.
I laid there, began to weep.

As the wind began to blow,
I heard his voice bellow.
Was by my window below.

I really began to shake,
knew my life was at stake.
I heard my window break.

I had already locked my door.
Heard glass shatter to the floor.
He'd done this to me before.

He'd disconnected my phone,
had to try and escape on my own.
Where I would go was unknown.

As I jumped out my window to escape,
he had just pulled back the drapes.
Was scared I'd be killed or raped.

I hoped I could start my truck,
probably wouldn't my luck.
That would really suck.

I got away just in time.
