Tick, Tick, Tack goes the clock on the wall, Click, Click, Click, Clack go the sounds that

slowly grow Slowly, slowly the sleep takes the flow The shadow stands tall But then, I hear a crack The tension rises, my hear sinks Creak, Creak, Creak go the boards on the floor To a corner I get, and then pause More sounds fill the house Plink, Plink, Plink go the drops in the sink Swirl, Swirl go the trees Tap, Tap, Tap goes a twig on the glass I take a deep breath and slowly pass To a door that I push open Here I stand in the kitchen den I drink some water, while the sounds become softer Tick, Click, Creak, Plink, Swirl, Tap stop Sudden silence makes me drop the cup Crash the shards fly across the floor I feel that there is something more I flick the switch, but no light comes The moon looses its shine behind the thick clouds The sounds come back But this time deafening Shi!ers pass through my neck Seconds seemed hours, hours days I stood fro"en waiting for the sunrays The terror passed the way it came Playing the hide and seek game The phantom left away #ooking for the prey to play The shock The terror I had no ner!es $nd passed out
