It was looking into those empty eyes
without any emotion
the chills it gave me I remember now
in a bar with my friend
for a quiet pleasant evening after work
interrupted by this berk!
Who was persistent just would not go
threatened if left alone
but with my friend did not feel so bad
eventually took the hint
wandering off where I could not care
no longer at me to stare!
Soon forgot that unsettling encounter
just the two of us drinking
until the last orders call I then recalled
look to see if he was about
thought how silly must be long gone
there was nothing wrong!
Once in the air realised I was very tipsy
need to get a taxi home
my friend was going on to a night club
as I tried to phone a cab
slowly walking down the poorly lit path
no idea of the closing wrath!
Halted by a crossing finally got through
needing the post for balance
heard movement from close behind me
and suddenly an arm gripped
tightly around my neck now panic set in
finding strength from within!
Struggling I still had my high heels on
stamped as hard as I could
hoping to catch his foot a loud yell
violently let me go falling
down on my knees quickly spinning
hoping I was winning!
Realising looking up it was him glaring
the man with empty eyes
trying to stand he lunged at my dress
pulling back he missed
scrabbled to my feet I ran in the road
with menace he strode!
Kicking the shoes off shouting for help
from a couple passing by
they just seemed to ignore my plight
as the man caught up
lights dazzled coming directly ahead
diving it missed by a thread!
As I fell on the pavement there was a thud
tyres were screeching
shaken wondering what had happened
the perpetrator was hit
by a taxi staring at him in utter disbelief
but filled with such relief!
It was the taxi that had come to pick me up
the man with the empty eyes
never regained consciousness I heard later
justice you could say was done
luck maybe a guardian angels intervention
are possibilities in contention!
