Light

It’s time for bed,
Turn off the light.
Look outside!
It’s after dark!

She jumps under the covers,
even manages goodnight.
As soon as the door is closed for the day,
All she does is sob all night.

2 AM, she couldn’t believe.
Was that a rock she just heard?
No, It just sounded like a tree.

Just to be sure,
she wipes off her eyes,
and sucks it all in.
Walks to the window
and opens the blinds.

It’s him! He’s come back!
I LOVE YOU ! he screamed.
I said would never lie.

Everything turned out perfect,
Everything just right.
That is until,
Someone decided to turn on the light.
