Dark the night, overcast, <br />No starlight, <br />Only a twisted moon, <br />Misshapen by black clouds, <br />And rain, cold and slashing, <br />Sent to punish me, for being <br />Stupid enough to be out <br />On a night like this... <br /> <br />Cold, dark streets, <br />Forbidding and cruel, <br />And only the night creatures <br />Are out, being punished, <br />Just as I am, <br />For being Stupid enough <br />To be out <br />On a night like this... <br /> <br />Buildings lean inward, <br />Holding each other up, <br />Bowed under the weight <br />Of the cruel, cold rain <br />Which piles up on the top <br />Of the sagging rooflines, <br />Being punished, Just as I am, <br />For being stupid enough <br />To be out on a night like this. <br /> <br />But I - I am rushing home to you, <br />For I know you are waiting for me, <br />And probably wondering just why <br />I am stupid enough to be out <br />On a night like this.<br /><br />Scarlett Treat<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/on-a-night-like-this/
