The Man

Bubbalicious – Chloe Fox

Maddy Artinger

The late of the night

The moon shining bright

The man standing there

The black cat that was just here

Found the cat

Too scared to act

Its head gone

It’s becoming dawn

Standing and running

Crying and turning

I try to find my home

But I can’t as I roam

The man is still there

Walking over here

The world is spinning

I turn and he’s grinning

Walking faster, he dashes

The world falls and he lashes

I move and see his face

Quite a disgrace

Wake up, and I see

The man coming back from his spree

Covered in it, I fear

I look as I shed a tear

He hears and turns

His stare burns

Closer he walks

I shut myself in a box

Scared, frozen in my head

Don’t know what he said

Closer now is he

How I wish to be free

I open my eyes to see

His eyes looking gently

Silence for now

What my mind does allow

Looking close I realize

How many lies

For he is not a talker

I thought I escaped my stalker.
