He Lurks ( Brownsville Rapings)
He lurks in the shadows
like a dirty mouse
hiding behind buildings
until you come out
your enticing
to him your icing
He follows you
so masterfully
while your jamming
to your i pod
you barely expect it
when he pounces
from behind you
and demands you get naked
with a knife at your throat
he says if you scream
he will stick it through
So all you can do is obey
as he carries you to the roof
and splits apart your youth
a memory you will never forget
even if he was caught
the dark shadows will never look the same
Now you know anybody can lurk
anybody can hurt.
