If you focus gently, then you may see, a stranger in the distance walking, the night clothes it's figure while the moon shine is bright, and the only thing you can make out is barely mentioned cries..
Off in the horizon, it wanders back and forth with a ember, lit on its lip, and a posture, its drag of the hips, as you can study how itt walks in an undirected motion,
Walking closer, the figure seems to bbe shrinking, till you're close enough to see this figure is more of a girl not quite at your height, her age is unknown, if you'd ask she'd probably lie, she nodds hello with a lit cigarette and a bottle of crown, you watch, stunned, as she lifts and swallows it all, then smashes the glass to the ground
and then the sights surround, there is music from no sound and a club springs up around her, dancing the night away
But when 3 comes along, she's not ready to leave
She comes back to you to ask for one more drink
Even when before you said no, and she called you cheap
She can barely stand and you can tell that her body's weak
You ask if she's alright, she asks if she can spend the night
You take a second to think twice but say yes when you see tears in her eyes
"Its been a year since I've been home", she cries
"It's been a year full of roofies, weed, and lies"
She whispers as you take her in your arms
"Rest safely, tonight i've got you. No one here is going to hurt you"
They remain right on the edge of your tongue since she had already fell asleep, her body couldn't take all the pain, even though you know it's numb
Honestly, you're in another city, you were just passing by, when you saw her figure in the distance and went to find out what was what..
So you take her back to your motel, its a shame, she's so cute, why does she do this to herself, you lay her down and tuck her under your covers, and spend the night sitting in a seat right beside her, wandering how exactly she's to the react waking up the morning after..
hours pass, its 3pm, she's just now starting to wake, she rubs her eyes and stretches then, looks at you, then at her, and gives a look like" oh my, not again!"
You back away, and just say hey..I found you last night, I wont hurt you please don't be afraid
She just smiles, pulls out a lighter, "well, how did you like it?"
"I am sorry, but you misread clues of what have happend"
"Wait, what do you mean?"
You explain; she said she thought that was all just a dream
apparently she had been misused so many times, she tries to find an outlet some way to escape, so she goes into fantasies types so strong they ressemble dreams, but you assured her its not what she had come to believe, then she said she did remember vaguely sneaking out to drink..
You asked who she is but she quickly presses her finger to you lips as she interrupts with "I like you, please don't ask too much about me, because I'm afraid of what you might do if you found out"
In instant shock at the wording, you think back to last night and want to ask her more....but who are you? Just a person caught in a dire situation with no help, no guidance ...how can you help?
Sometimes leaving things as they lay is the safest way
