Screaming for Someone

Agonizing Clarity.

How do I get over this
How do I forget one moment
one space in time

1 hour
that's all it took
but now it haunts me

I was looking for my girlfriend
and when I couldn't find her
I stopped by a gas station

Took a moment to breathe
when you got out your car as I walked away
"Hey little momma, need a ride?"

I knew this wouldn't end well
you opened the gas station door and
I walked inside.

"Pick out anything."
I was skeptical knowing this wouldn't end
in my favor

but I thought
I could take the gift and run
without repaying you.

I grabbed a 6 pack of beer
and you asked if I needed a ride home
I knew I was taking a chance

But it would be faster
I was a risk-taker any other time
why not this time

You drove.
You turned on an empty street
and that's when I knew for sure what your intention was.

I figured that was what you wanted all along
but I shoved it down
hoping.

You locked the doors.
It was 1:00 am.
I knew nobody would hear me scream.

And how I screamed.
