Intruder?

It was early in the morning,
The sun had yet to rise-
When there, out of my slumber,
I shot up in surprise.

I heard the very strangest noise.
I thought, "What could it be,
That made this strange and sudden noise which has awakened me?"
 
I grabbed a robe and slipped it on and hurried out of bed.
But wait- what was I thinking?
I should've grabbed the phone instead...

But it was too late now, I couldn't go back.
I was halfway down the stairs!
And I nearly had a heart attack as I wondered what awaited me there.

I crept down very slowly, trying not to make a sound
And held in an anxious, bated breath
As my feet touched the ground.

My mind was racing, hands were shaking.
How would I face disaster?
I forced myself to continue on
My heart now beating faster.

Round the corner, through the hall
Just one more step to go.
I braced myself for what I'd see
As my fear continued to grow.

Slowly, very slowly
I peered around the wall.
I sighed in relief as I finally saw...



There was nothing there, at all.
