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.
