Close To Midnight Poem by Bryan Lee Greer

Gettin close to midnight
on a dark deserted highway
headin down south
finaly gonna try it my way

There's someone up ahead
cant see him very good
but he's wearin all black
his head covered with a hood

I got a little closer
took a look into his eyes
they were bright red and beady
they were eyes full of lies,

The first thing he said,
I been waiting here for you
I said right back,
I been lookin for you too

then he said to me,
so your here to make a deal
I said, I dont know,
I wasnt sure if you were real

I'm as real as real can be
that I'll have you know,
there's still time for you my friend
to turn around and go,

I've met many a man
on this lonely road at night
some not as brave as you
many run with fright,

so you can turn around and leave
I will gladly let you go
or you can stay and make a deal
and I will tell you what I know,

there's four roads to choose from
the choice is up to you
just sign the dotted line son
and I will tell you what to do, ,


So I singed the dotted line
I signed my life away
a choice I may regret
until my dying day


Well there you are my friend
just go left down that road
it'll be many many years
before we reap what you sowed

Just always keep in mind son
even though I set you free
no matter where you go boy
your soul belongs to me.
