    I wait in the darkness
    Book clutched in my hand
    The gate creaks open
    I scream demands
    "please sign this I'm your biggest fan"
    I don't want to hurt her
    But I stare at the Man
    She walks passed,
    But I wanted to run
    So I just reached for my gun.

    The look on his cardboard cutout face
    Is stuck in my mind and can't be replaced
    But the blood made it real
    Just like Holden Caulfield
    Now the guns were pointed at me
    My hands taken away
    If you want to know the truth
    I dont know what I think about it
    Don't ever tell anybody anything
    If you do, you start missing everybody
    I miss John.

    But how can I be more obvious? The Catcher in the Rye, "the mind of the catcher"...I thought it might ring some bells. Mark Chapman was found with a copy of The Catcher in the Rye in his hand. So thats why I named it that, because Mark Chapman thought he was Holden Caufield.


    But thanks for the nice comment, really appreciated it.
