All Alone
It's amazing how
the night creeps in
in a wave of blackness
It's fascinating
how close it gets
when you're alone with the shadows
It's only my thoughts
echoing in my mind
no voices in the dark
It's only the house
settling for the eve
no need to look behind me
It's only the wind
sighing against the trees
I'm sure nothing's after me
It's only the lightning
flashing in the sky
nothing in the corners move
It's only the rain
running along the windows
there's no blood on the walls
It's only a few hours
'til mommy and daddy are home
and I'm not afraid
of being all alone
