Our Incident
We walk along the road we live on,
 Just laughing and playing.
 The road was so lonely
 With just you and me.
 
 A car then passes by.
 We move to the side
 And didn’t think anything of it.
 
 But then it passes again.
 I shrug my shoulders
  And think Whatever.
 But you looked worried.
 
 You kept telling me,
  we should go home.
  I wasn’t ready.
 There on my side,
 I could see my house from the road.
 But I just wasn’t ready.
 
 As I sit there on the road,
 The car passes again,
 And again.
  Going back and forth.
 
 After a while, 
 I was starting to wonder about the car.
 So finally 
 you convince me that we should go.
 So I start walking.
 But we where too slow.
 I heard the car again.
 
 I turned around
 You were walking to me,
  Three guys jumped out of the car,
 And ran to you.
 
 You turned around to fight them. 
 But I knew
  you couldn’t take them all.
 So I run to you,
 And try to keep the one from attacking.
 
 When I got in the middle
 Of you and the one guy,
 My heart was racing
 Like a race car passing by.
 
 The guy kept trying to get you,
 And you kept shoving him.
 While I stood in the middle,
 Holding him away from you.
 
 After all my yelling and cussing,
 He finally backed off.
 While cussing at you 
 and saying stupid sh*t 
 As he walked away.
 
 But you,
 Why couldn’t you just walk away?
 No, you had to have the last word.
 But I understand
 It was just from anger.
 
 Of course
 Right after you said what you did,
 He came running at you again.
 But this time,
 With a look on his face 
 like he wanted to 
 Kill you.
 
 I was so scared.
 I didn’t know what to do.
 I didn’t know if I would be able to keep him off you.
  His friends started to come over.
 But I had to try.
 
 So again I got in the middle.
 Holding you behind me.
 And trying to get the guy off you.
 I just kept yelling
  and cussing at him.
 I was so scared of what he would do.
 To me, 
 To you.
 
 Finally he backed off.
 I grabbed you
 And started walking to the house.
 He went back to his car
 With his friends.
 Then drove off.
 
 We got back home,
 You ran upstairs 
  I was left to tell what happened.
 My hands where shaking 
  My heart was racing.
 
 We heard a thud.
 And I knew
   You punched the wall.
 You came back down
  I held you close.
 With no thought of letting go.
 
 I was so happy that you where alive.
 But I kept thinking 
 Of what could have been.
 And it scared me all the more.
 But still,
 I was happy you where with me 
 And safe. 
 
 I kept thinking 
 about what could have happened to me.
 But I didn’t care. 
 I
    Only 
 
 
 Cared
 
 
 
   About
 
 
 
 
     You.
