A black hole came toward me
at first it did enthrall,
football sized, like boys would kick,
not large, but not too small.
It stopped just there in front of me
about a foot away,
it didn’t seem to want to move,
this was not to be my day!
I tried to walk around it
but it stayed there for a while,
I moved forward, so did it
at first it made me smile.
My smile soon turned to downright rage
escape I could not see,
this hole just kept on staring
it was right in front of me.
I thought someone would notice
this hole was very black,
I tried to turn around
and to keep it at my back.
But instantly, it then appeared
right in front of me,
I thought I’d try and touch it
but nothing I could see.
At first my hand went through it
at least that's what I thought,
as I peered around it
my nerves were very taut.
Then I felt a tugging
a pulling on my arm,
the force so strong it held me
it meant to do me harm.
I felt my body lifting,
my feet were off the ground,
I was being pulled inside
but black was all I found.
I disappeared on that day
nothing could they find,
just a handbag lying there
had they all been blind?
