It's quiet and the cold night has settled in

[Cassie]

The rain has stopped and it's late now, you should be home from work soon
I can hear the cars go by the house
It's quiet and the little ceramic heater goes off and on every now and then
It's dark outside, and the porch light shines through the blinds
If you look out the window you see dark green tree's standing tall
And the wet spots on the wood of the porch are still soaked with this mornings rain
