Nagam - Dame Street, stop 1278.

Stop 1278
Dame Street
She waits patiently for the 123

The real time info says 11:19
The bus arrives couple minutes early
And she
She puts her hand out but it continues down the street

She decides she'll walk
Sure it's not even late
There's no need for a taxi
She enjoys the escape

Look Dolphins Barn is only 20 minutes away is what she tells herself as she starts Texting her mate

Now she's outside St Patrick's Cathedral
Both phone battery and temperature drop below zero
She quickens her pace
And holding onto her mace
She longs for the safety of her pillow

Between the rowdy gang on bikes and the cracked tooth bottle in hand types
She feels exposed and watched and tears fill her eyes
As she passes Weaver Park being catcalled to no surprise

She crosses the street
And sees a man cross too
She's only 5 minutes away
Her road is almost in view

He continues to pursue her
In his drunken stupor
Christ why'd he choose her
She decides taxi in future

She brings her phone to her ear and pretends to call her friend
What was the last text she sent what if this is the end
Seeing a large group her age she yells out for a James
They don't hear her exclaim but the man slips away

Finally safe and calm
She charges her phone
There's a text from her mam
Text me when you're home x

We need to do better
