Alone

Dear diary,

I hear him again,

He is getting in through the windowpane.

Alone in the house, my heart thumps 

I have an intruder at home that thought makes me jump.

I stand up and edge near my room's door,

The house is as shadowy as the moor.

I wish I had gone out with my father or mother,

instead of being stuck with this rather.

I looked around for the phone

and realized I had left it in the criminal's zone.

Some plates in the kitchen broke up

and my pulse picked up.

Knowing the thief's location,

Didn't improve my situation.

I can't escape was my only thought

as to the reach the door the kitchen had to be crossed.

I looked around and grabbed a flower pot

Even a little protection was worth a shot.

I inched towards the spot where I placed the phone,

A sole help for a child home alone.

He was still busy with the food,

else I would have been easily subdued.

I picked the phone and turned around 

Two amber eyes locking me on the ground.

A scream erupted within me 

joined in by a cat's scream

A brown cat jumped from the shelf and ran away

Leaving me staring at the mess it made.
