My spine tickels, right down to the bone, I am struck, struck hard with a stone,
Not knowing where from, A door slams,
Hard against the wall, Like a drum,
Fills me with horror, "Who is there," I call,
maybe through the door, or perhaps what I saw,
Out of the corner of my eye, I shall wait til' it or I die,
Whomever shall be first, I dare not ask, Waiting is my task,
I wait, silent, my back hunched and bent,
Perhaps I am the bait, The fish in the sea,
I quietly wait, I wait for my fate,
A rustle of the curtain, Slowly, I dont know,
What to do then, I can't breathe nor blink,
My soul, It drops low and shall sink,
Life is my goal, Or perhaps death shall be,
In the dark, I cannot see,
A shift in wind, The room shall bend,
It approaches, Closer to me,
As it says, I must get away from he,
What he says, That is the key,
I shall wait all night, Not to dare put up a fight,
who is this person, What do I do?
Or perhaps, is he thinking the same thing too?
I wait, Silently, though I cannot see,
I know he is looking right at me,
Watching, Waiting,
I want to begin running,
But my legs won't move, I can't move,
None of me, I can't move nor can I see,
I can hear and feel, This man staring at me,
We stare at each other, I don't even bother,
To think, Nor do I want to see,
I want to be free, Rather than be with He,
Thee in my home, I see his face,
Big as a dome, He suddenly loudly sighs,
And his eye's,
I wait, hunched over, my back arched,
he comes closer, I am frightened,
I dont know what to think,
My soul, It drops low and shall sink.
