i like to be alone
spending time with me, myself and i at home
the family has gone away
my dependence has frayed
i am now so inconceivably free
i can sit here and just be who i am...me
i'm responsible, you can count on me
to go out and take the house key
but i left the iron on and the windows ajar
and i didn't realise till i was too far
no turning back to fix the dilemma
i spent the night in a nervous tremor
stressing that the house would burn down
i could do little to erase the frown
man would mum be pissed off
if she returned home and everything was lost
lost in a pile of ashes and mess
i'm pretty sure she wouldn't be impressed
i sat and questioned the reliability of our windows
no one could get true them, then i froze
crap! did i even put the deadlock on the front door?
oh god! i left my extra money on the floor!
i beg you dear house, please don't get robbed
burgalars, can't you just skip this easy job?
perspiring i am, bugging out like all hell
i tell my friend, her response a simple 'oh well'
oh well?!?!yeah...sure my parents would say that
i don't think they would approve and make small chit chat
dead i would be, as dead as they come
breathing i won't be, not even some
i think i've endured the punishment enough
spending the night in a constant panick was rough
too much responsibility for me to fight
too hard to lock the house up secure and tight
ack! i want my family back!
no more will i continue this act
i need them here, i utter in a voice so calm and soft
i can rely on them to turn the power off
foolish me, i have more to lose than gain
being by yourself is such a damn hard strain  

i went out the other night, family was away....and i like left the house open for anyone to walk off the street! i will never do it again!! i was so stressing that my parents were gonna return home to an empty house or no house at all   lol

ah, that is a cool poem. Musta sucked, that. I left the back door unlocked once and when I got home from the movies I realized what I did and freaked. For the next hour and a half I was running around the house to make sure that everything was still there. heheh
