The Knocker

Ah, the night, dark and safe
you think you are
safe in the dark, like a burned out star
when the knocking begins
like many nights before
a rap, a thud, a knock on the door

You open the door
and no-one's there
perhaps he or It is just trying to scare...
...you, my friend, out of your mind
so you hide in the shadows
and hope he won't find...
...you, with sweat oozing from all pores
and when you relax
there's a knock on the door
a rap, a thud, your name's in blood
written without pen as your panic floods

You fly up stairs to bolt your bedroom door
it must be imagination, and nothing more
once again, while you sleep, safe in the dark
there's a rap on the bed post
there's a newly left blood mark
on the wall, above your head
your mouth opens to scream
you pray to your god that its only a dream
but its reality, my friend,
and he's finally found you
to give a final package with postage due

the shadows move slowly
youre blind in pitch dark
The Knocker knocks no more
when the pain finds your brain
his bite is worse
than his knock!


    


Sweet Dreams and Happy Halloween!
