Suffocating Silence


from the ABC set My Poems

In lonely places where the shadows fall
There's no-one there but you hear them call
They'll drag you in
If you go there way
And once you're in there
You'll never get away

Last bus left me now I'm all alone
Ain't got no money for my taxi fare home
I'm out of cigarettes
I'm losing my nerve
I'm worried 'bout a fate
That I just don't deserve

And I don't know why I'm worried
When there ain't no-one around
It's just the suffocating silence
In the side streets of town
