One Bad Day Can Equal Forever

[theredshadow]

Came across some old stuff I wrote in the late 90s. This one, unfortunately, is a true story.

I will never forget that day
'cause it could've been my last
Even though I try hard
to blur it in my past
Running down the road
with tears streaming from my eyes
Running from a man
that I now despise
He offered me a ride
and I replied to him, "no"
Where strangers travel
I will never go
But no was an answer
that he wouldn't take
And suddenly my life
was completely at stake
With fear in my heart
and adrenaline in my veins
I stumbled and ran
through lots and down lanes
But still he came
this monster with a pale face
Following and chasing me
all over the place
And I can almost remember
and I can almost see
But I don't want to go there
or know what he had planned for me
He stalked me physically that day
and mentally ever since
And now that I remember
I can't help but wince
And scream, "Dad, I can't find you!
Help me, where are you?"
But I recall that I told him
not to come, like a fool
But that villain, that monster
who wished to prey on my flesh
He isn't here now
but I kinda wish
'Cause I would tell him
that what he did to me was wrong
And that I hate him
for killing that boy of so long
But I do not have the power
and I do not have the will
And all of this talking
just gives me the chills
Alas, in the end, I will always remember
That one bad day
that was almost forever...
