If You Were Not There

I know now

I know that I was crazy

After a couple of weeks the voices were in my head

This voice is different

This voice echoes around the woods

This voice is real

I'm not crazy

I know it

But the scary voice

That one was also real

That one could be heard around the woods

That one was speaking to me

It knew me

And I know that voice

A chunk of my past life

I remember now
I was running from him

And that's why I'm here

I try to remember a name, a face

But all I can remember is running

And then bright lights

That voice belongs to a man

And that man ruined my life

He loves me

He's a predator

He stalks his prey

And when he pounces

The prey is never seen again

Maybe that's why I'm stuck here

I've remembered something else

I was sixteen

Sixteen years

Sixteen years of my life

Gone

Taken

And it's all his fault
