Is that all you have for me.....

By Phred

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Is that all you have for me......... A long walk into the night,     so confusing, The illusion -- or mere confusion --  is not retreating like I've been taught it would when I'm wrapped     in my blanket And as things creepy-crawl around on silent,       felony feet That you can detect on you spine like a   frosty blast of air on your neck I watch from the safety of my bed, toes tucked under the blankets while the eerie music matches the natural score outside my window. And I repeat: Is that all you have for me? I can take whatever you can dish out   no doubt. And safely wrapped in my blanket (I'll take time to thank it) Those who creepy crawl on silent feet who wish to scare me with their teeth, and nibble upon my exposed toes (Which aren't so exposed anymore) Will be disappointed And as the dawn comes, and I wake up to with white noise blaring from my TV set I'll ask one more time: Is that all you have for me?
