Straight out of bed - I sat up last night
Awakened by a cry
Or was it just the wind outside
From my lips escaped a sigh
Looking out my window - I couldn't see
Anything - but the moon
Just darkness howling - night winds blowing
And shadows dancing in my room.
I leaned my head against the glass
To find it very cold
Moist with drops of nighttime tears
Tears that fall from young & old.
I crawled back into bed at last
And laid there feeling all alone
That's when I knew the cry I'd heard
Had been my very own........

Sounds good for Halloween-very freaky! And sad to-there are many different ways to look at it. The first time, it scared me, and the second time, I realized it could be taken a totally different way...

I know what you mean.sometimes its sad to
wake alone.I think in one way,or another

we are here,and they are there.

I've often felt this way, and you've captured the exact atmosphere to a T. Great work
