Green overalls,covered in oil
Never seen before
But all of sudden he is there
I keep walking never turning me head
But i look up ahead and its a dead end
What do i do
I look around and see this crack
Me a slender fitted girl about ye high
Fits through it
Safe at last
But i turn and his is right there
He gots to be magic
I start walking
He walks faster
I hear him gaining on me
But dare not to turn and look
I'm so terrified
I start running
I hear his footsteps behind me
So scared i trip
I started crawling on the hard gray concrete
Scratching my knees
Blood running constantly
But i'm not worried about it
Suddenly... out of nowwhere somebody picks me up
Out of the bed
I was only dreaming
My dad picked me up from my bed because he heard me screaming
He said "its ok honey, everything is alright" Everything is fine"
I said "ok daddy"
He put me back in bed
Before he step out I noticed something
Something very Unusual
He had the same green overalls covered with oil
No!!!! it couldnt be
But it was
The next day he left a note
I was to never see him....Again

Antonio, this is sad for the character you are writing about. Very shocking to her, I'm sure......

Well since you're trying so hard to be a good poet, I suggest you work on your spelling and grammar. I've compared that to Leda and the Swan - your spelling and grammar is simply exceptional there...why the difference here do you think??

A nice poem,  though I too noticed the
significant difference in your grammar between this and other posts.  
To become a good poet,  one must be consistent in the presentation of the poem.  Work on your grammar,  and you will do much better.
