Friday Nightmare

Another Friday night alone
I wonder if the crazy man will call
Remind me to unplug the phone
Or to change my number once and for all

Not so long ago a beautiful voice
Remembered me and made my heart rejoice
But now I hear the harsh sounds of attack
Triggering memories of Uncle Jack
And of a dark childhood which never was

Or I wish it had not been because
It always felt like I feel tonight
As death waits for me impatiently
Here in the darkness so far from light

I wish I could not hear if I must be
Alone in this nightmare since I can see
