Goodnight
GOODNIGHT
He crept in the night by my window
So that he might say hello
And wish of me sweet things.
That night I dreamed and slept at ease.
With my covers pulled tight
My toes nicely warm
Then snapped with a jolt
Like the unnatural breaking of a bone
Suddenly awoken from rest
A tingling feeling over my face
My hart freezes
To the crashing and screeching
Of where my window once was
To the shattered remains
Of a brick that barley graze my skull
and opaque glass fragments
That steals my innocence
Away
explanation
thank-you for the complement. However, this poem was about me trying to work thorough the anxiety from a stalker that kept on stalking me and eventually one night throwing a brick through my bedroom window in the middle of the night which grazed my head. It was a terrifying experience to be woken this way, i felt afraid and instantly unsafe. A sense of security and nativity was stolen from me. In writing this I was able to over come some of the fear and anxiety I had at that moment. I hope this is not what your window reminds you of =(
