My New Best Friend

As I walk down the dark alley I hear footsteps in the mist

The fog creeps in and I hear deep breathing behind me

The steps get closer, I try to move quickly, with tight fist

I cringe to think what is behind, I don't dare turn to look

Hush, don't say a word, my mind tells me, go now before I see

I see what lies behind, now a corner I turn, I barely see light in the mist, I took

I took the first close building, and ran down another alley, tucked myself in a doorway

Listened to the sound, now it begins to rain, I shiver with fear, now I know it's near

I hear a running pace, I am getting soaken wet, my scarf of lace, now it gets away

Whoever it is will now find my place, every part of me now shakes, I hear a faint noise

It can't be, I have been followed by a stray, a stray dog, here sitting right infront of me

Poor thing, I had no reason to fear, he seems scared as well, I bent down to pet him

Hush, don't say a word, I'll take you home and we'll get dried off by the fireplace, no more shall we be alone

Hush, Don't Say a Word, I just found my new best friend
