*  a challenge  to use the first line
Only Tapping

It was a dark and stormy night,
I fear within, that kind.
I grabbed the quilt to cower with,
As loneliness joined my mind.

I saw him through the glass,
He shadowed me this night.
I heard the tapping louder still,
But answered none, in fright.

The latch was left undone,
I heard the window's lift.
The warmth had drained, my face now pale,
In fearful thoughts, I sift.

What must I do right now
To calm my beating heart?
My fears kept rising to my throat,
No words from mouth would part.

A silent scream was heard,
All breath came drifting out.
Until his kiss of death touched lips
There was no sound, no shout.

I'm buried in my thoughts,
A life has gone from me.
It was a dark and stormy night,
A death, it was to be.

Not of the blood and gore kind,
But personality.
Tomorrows change will bring new life,
I'm hopeful, this I'll see.

It was a dark and stormy night,
Getting use to them, am I.
I partner with the loneliness,
In words of empty sigh.
