i am afraid, at night.
not because of the dark,
or the wandering eyes in it.
not because of the silence,
and the slithering voices in it.
not because of the unseen and
the unheard and the unknown.
i am afraid, at night,
because when the sun goes down
and everyone's fast asleep,
when the lights go out and this town
turns into one big graveyard of
somber slumber
i can hear my heart begging,
banging and banging at the
walls, scared to death.
bang, bang.
don't leave me alone.
bang bang.
don't leave me alone.
bang bang.
don't leave me alone.
