Glimpse
by: Chris Kershner


Just a moment ago everything seemed right
But now I stand here alone
No one by my side to share my love and pain with
You've left me alone in this dark and cruel world
I am a innocent child left in a harsh world just trying to survive the night
To my left
To my right
I hear them coming for me
Closer and closer they draw
I run and hide from them, wishing this night would end
I hear them closer now
They're all around me
And now I see one and he to sees me
Closer he stalks until he is almost upon me
I close my eyes and wait for him to tear me apart
But he never does, all I fell are warm and friendly arms around me
And just as quick as I was thrust into this nightmare I am rescued
I awaken to find myself safe and sound being held by you
I say to myself it was all just a dream
But then I look to my left and see him hiding in the dark
He looks at me with a cruel and sadistic smile and says next time
I rub my eyes and look again
I see nothing where he was
And I wonder was it all a dream or was it a glimpse of what will be
