A Secretly Strange Situation

This is a poem I wrote after a very strange thing that happened to me which I am not going to reveal just so it can be open to interpretation but let's just say it was scary, strange.

Sweat prickling on my nose, 

Pink lips quivering, silently shaking,

I look you straight into your eyes,

Eyes that are piercing, sharp like daggers.

"Just keep on walking", the noise in my 

head commands. "Just keep on - "

I stare straight through his soul 

Empathy, I guess it was, I drowned in 

a flood of emotions . Your eyes spat strange 

words, feelings, thoughts at me. "He does not have 

anything but hatred for you" I dogged it. So I listen 

to that voice and let it usher me to the safe manger. 

Not before I look back once more. I would have hated 

you, were your eyes not a window to your soul. 

Shielding myself from pain, I followed that voice like 

a lost sheep to a shepherd. Alas!
