• Another college poem

   

  JANE WALKS ALONE

  (JANE 2)       

   

  Jane walks alone tonight

  On a sidewalk by an unknown street,

  And she’s afraid.

  Jane is young and strong,

  So she continues on,

  But fear is eating at her heart.

  Shadows dance through cobwebs

  At midnight—mid-September.

  Jane shivers, but feels no breeze.

  The night air is warm,

  So she should not feel cold.

  No one turns on a light

  To welcome Jane home,

  Because she lost her security.

  It’s in that darkness somewhere,

  And by conquering this violent fear,

  She knows she can return home

  And be held in the safety

  Of a lover’s arms.

  Where are her lover’s arms?
