As I walked in that blurry street,
I kept looking at my feet;
No one noticed the lights were out.
Or was it only me on this lonely route?

I kept walking even though,
I had second thoughts,
Even though I had no more words;
Where did my words go?

Everything felt strange!
Even the weather started to change.
Usually I'd see more people,
But on this good day it all felt so unusual.

It felt as though I was being followed,
As if I was being swallowed,
As if my mind was playing tricks on me,
Or perhaps I was going crazy to some degree.

I did not even see it coming,
Everything happened so fast,
I wish there was some kind of warning,
Or a visit from my future-self in the past.

But it all happened too quickly,
And no one could predict it.
Even I did not expect it!
Whether it’d be merciful or grotesquely

...then it hit me...
