Carnival

Carnival

I thought it was going to be fun

October 23^rd,

The rides, the cotton candy, the fun

Unfortunately, I didn't know what was going to happen that night

It was a night with my girlfriend

October 23^rd,

She rode rides, played games, and kissed me after

Not knowing what was going to happen that night

There was a full moon,

October 23^rd,

The moon shining brightly as I stared at it

Hearing a scream behind me

I turned and looked

October 23^rd,

To see through the people, my girlfriend

Being carried away by a man in full black

I ran after him

October 23^rd,

People staring at what was happening

And not helping at all with the cause

He ran into a carnival ride

October 23^rd,

It was broken down, spooky and scary

I ran in without thinking of what was going to happen

I saw flashing lights

October 23^rd,

The jazz music in the background

Chasing the black outfit, chasing after my girlfriend

He turned around

October 23^rd,

He looked into my eyes

And a story unfolded, to live or to die

He pointed the knife at my face

October 23^rd,

My girlfriend wrapped around his arms

Crying and weeping as the jazz keeps playing

He screamed frantically

October 23^rd,

He flipped the knife over to my girlfriend

Patiently waiting for my answer

I pointed at myself

October 23^rd,

He scooted the knife on the ground towards me

I pointed the knife at myself. To be or not to be

I was about to do it. But I lunged forward

I should've never done it, I tired to save her

I missed the stab into the man in black

He dodged it, it wasn't my fault

October 23^rd,

My girlfriend died, to a knife wound

A man in black was charged with murder

And I was that man.

Happy Halloween,
