What a Night

With peering eyes and wanting heart
                      I stared right through your window
                      You undressed right in front of me
                        Somehow I felt that you’d know
                           But yet you had gone further
                             As clothes fell to the floor
                               I then thought I would
                                     die, because I
                                     wanted more
                                       Then, your 
                                     light went off,
                            and you were still right
                          there, I had seen you in the
                     shadows, you called me, I could
                   swear. But as I got close enough to
                 climb in to the room, I felt a pain most
               shockingly as you hit me with your broom.
              I fell down the two stories, wishing I could 
              fly, But then I hit the ground, then I wished 
               that I would die. Feeling then came back
                to my aching arms and feet. When your
                      backdoor then opened and your 
                             rottweiler came to eat.
                                    Oh, dear me
                                          and oh
                                         dear my
                                   that dog came
                                running fast. I had 
                            hoped that I’d run faster
                    or simply just outlast, But he had
                 gotten a hold of me and bit down very
                tight. That’s when I asked myself, why’d
            I come out here this night. No answer came 
              upon me until you showed your face, You
                 pulled the dog then from me, the night
                    was not a waste. For then you felt
                         a bit sorry as you helped 
                                 me to my feet. I
                                 then introduced
                                myself to the girl
                           I had longed to meet.
