How Far's Home? Poem by Lodigiana Poetess

How Far's Home?



Briskly walking, darkness falling, pathway muddy, all alone.
Flashlight broken, no umbrella, keeping head down, pick up pace
Strangely quiet, no birds singing, night just too dark, saving money.
Taxi next time, creepy noises, all imagined? ..how far's home?
Park deserted, bushes moving, sound of dry twigs, cracking loudly.
Footsteps following, getting closer, look behind, a shadow moving..
Rapid breathing, hands start sweating, heels just too high, start to run..
Feel in pocket, shit no phone! , must have lost it, ...how far's home? .
More leaves rustling, breathing quickens, loudly rasping,
He's behind...
Lungs are burning, no point turning, just keep going, kick shoes off..
See the street gate, but it's too late, feel him grabbing, ..wont see home.....

Hi Tom, thank you so much for your comments! it is a sad truth that anyone should need to be warned but such are the times we live in...Much appreciate you reading my work I try to vary the subject matter wherever possible to offer a little variety- not alwys so scary hopefully! ! !
