Sleep!

"Hey you look nice today!"
What handsome strangers all say.
Blushing uncontrollably.
Sweet as he or she could ever be.
You walk away.
They've made your day.
Not knowing the hidden agenda.
Their name you don't remember.
The attention you never had.
It kinda made you sad.
Turn around! Turn around!
Your keys drop to the ground.
That handsome stranger stands.
They slowly grab your hands.
You could scream.
No Swat Team.
You could fight.
No help in sight.
This stranger is strange.
Their gun is in range.
You grab it.
Let them have it!
You take the high road.
Police showed.
They have your stranger.
You have no anger.
You have learned a lot.
Gimme said gimme till Gimme got shot.
