Crime

VII.

In the morning I awoke to find someone had switched off the light and taken the bottle I’d been drinking from. There was a bowl of muesli and a jug of milk on the bedside cabinet.

Amusing words like honey balm
What woman can resist the charm?
Nice words from lips luscious and red
What lady will use the word "dread''?
She'll only beg for words unsaid

I pray there won't be more

Noises in the night
Those that give me fright
I listen as they fight
I close my eyes tight

“Aren’t you scared?” he asked
