A big beautiful house in the forest <br />Mary inherited, and we came inside <br />The cutest guy was my friend <br />With whom she got into a fight <br />The front door was never locked <br />Even on that darkest night <br />I did want to stay there <br />Letting all the troubles ride <br />As they started mawing <br />I grew jealous and ran outside <br />I was starving and sorry <br />That I had to fly light <br />Startled by a shadow <br />Behind the dark trees <br />I went rapidly back <br />There was something <br />Wrong with the house <br />But I couldn't tell exactly what <br />I found nobody home <br />Except for a crookback old lady <br />Who was trying to set the clock <br />I asked her about my friends <br />She giggled and said she <br />Had been the only tenant there <br />For one hundred years<br /><br />Aram Stefanian<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-darkest-night/
