Night Visitor
By Ashley

Alone in the dark, in my bed I lay.
My house may be locked but he finds a way.

The windows are shut and I can’t hear a sound,
then a window opens, I know he’s around.

He enters my room and sits near my bed,
when I see him come not a word is said.

He knows all my secrets, from him I can’t hide,
there’s no where to run so I let him inside.

Most wouldn’t want me to be with this dark stranger,
they would say he is evil and full of danger.

But I realized that being with him isn’t a sin,
so I opened up to him and he came in.

He stares into my face and looks into my eyes,
it is then clear to me that he won’t tell me lies.

I feel so safe when I hear him say
“I’ve come to take your pain away.”

I let him touch my face and open my heart,
I hope we’ll be like this always, never apart.

He moves closer and pulls me near,
why is it that I don’t feel fear?

I know it is time and he slips under the covers,
I know I love him deeply and we become lovers.
