One step
Keys clutched
between my fingers
Two steps
Double-check my back
take notice of strangers
Three steps
Feel my heart pounding
underneath the cage of rib
Four steps
Hear the crunch of snow
With each passing second
Five steps
Notice that lurking figure,
waiting to make their move
Six steps
Wonder would anyone hear
if I screamed
Seven steps
Know the figure quickly
gains leverage
Eight steps
I pray that it will be quick
that it will be painless
Nine steps
The keys between my fingers
Loosen, I could never use these
Ten steps
Eleven steps
Twelve steps
...
...
No steps
Yeah I'm shit at poetry
