The structure of the poem is in balanced stanzas - the tenderness and hopefulness at the beginning; the growing bitterness of the second‚ with its climax.

The wind made weird‚ frightening noises outside while the house inside creaked. I payed close attention to all these noises as I unblinkingly watched the T.V. monitor. “Maybe this was a bad idea”‚ I said to myself as I dug my nails into my thighs. Maybe it was a bad idea to stay home alone in the middle of the night‚ as it rained furiously outside while thunder
