Home Alone
Home Alone
My family's gone out; there's no one home.
It's only me who's home alone.
I shouldn't hear a single squeak.
I shouldn’t make a creak,
So what's that thumping that I hear?
It must mean one thing: death is near.
"You're an adult, you'll be just fine."
I tell myself as I dial "one"...
Was that a knock upon the door?
My heart beats faster than before
I know it's closed; I've checked the lock.
At least my kidnapper knows to knock?
I hear a bang and then a break.
My head shoots up; there's no mistake!
I turn my music volume high
So I won't hear the way I die.
I run upstairs, desk lamp in hand.
Over my head, ready to land,
And right before it did that...
I remembered - I have a kitten
