Hours of Darkness

Within the confines of my four bedroom walls,
In a chair by the window I quietly sit,
I cannot be seen in the hours darkness falls,
Witnessing acts no one confesses to admit,
Myself only knowing the real culprit.

Susan, Thanks for entering this one in my contest..For it to be an English Quintain it needs two more lines that end in a rhyme that rhymes with line 2 and line 4..If you make those changes it will pass on into the next round if not it will be eliminated..Thanks Sara
