the clock ticks
SHE SAW YOU
slower and slower
YOU SMILED
until finally
PLANNING HOW TO GET HER ALONE
time seems to stop
SHE CAN'T ESCAPE
he smiles at you
NOT THIS TIME
that mad glint in his eyes, beckoning
SHE'S ALL YOURS
your heart seizes
THERE'S NOWHERE SHE CAN RUN
and your palms become clammy
NOWHERE SHE CAN HIDE
you begin looking
LIKE A DEER IN HEADLIGHTS
for escape routes
TRAPPED
hoping and praying
YOU BEGIN CLOSING IN
he doesn't follow you
