My Story

Did I ever tell you the story?
Of when I walked along the road outside of town?
There was this old man,
Sitting under a tree upon the ground.

He said, "Son, could you come here?
"Could I have a moment of your time?
"I have something to tell you,
"And it just might someday save your life."

He told me of a girl,
That he met when he was young.
He said that her eyes,
Could make your head spin around.

"But I don't know what happened.
"I don't know what went wrong.
"I turned around one day,
"And I was left all alone."

He told me of the day,
When the end had begun.
He couldn't fix the pain,
And he didn't know where to run.

"I didn't know what to do.
"I didn't know how to change my life.
"I became so lost....
"I had to commit suicide."

I said, "You must be crazy!
"How could you possibly be dead?
"I have sat right here,
"And listened to everything you've said!"

"I'm from the future,
"And I have come to warn you,
"Of the danger,
"That will come over you."

I didn't believe him,
Until I noticed something that couldn't be.
When I looked in his eyes,
He closely resembled me....
