Maybe Tonight

By birksy

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Maybe tonight, when you're all on your own, you'll hear a strange noise, a growl or a groan, from the blackened out kitchen, and you reach for the phone; don't reach for the phone. Maybe tonight, when you're nearer to sleep, you'll hear a strange noise, a snap or a creak, from the blackened out hall, and you try a quick peek; don't try a quick peek. Maybe tonight, when you're reading this verse, you'll hear a strange noise, a whisper or curse, from directly behind you, and you'll know it's for worse; hush, you don't know it's for worse.
