"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown." - H.P. Lovecraft

I can hear

The soft rain

And something's near

A window pane

I try to see

Through misty glass

But there's a tree

Moving too fast

I'm inside but something's out

Wind is howling, branches sway

A shadow moves, no room for doubt

Earlier, the cat was there, but

But now, the porch is empty, cold and gray

My heart it beats

A frantic drum

So I peek through

The window some

A figure in the night

No face in the light

Such a fright!

I'm inside but something's out

Thunder rumbles, a chilling shout

A shadow moves, no room for doubt

I was alone, no were to pout

I'm all alone

In the house

Something's lurking

Prowling about

I can't escape

This nightmare shape

My soul to take!

But then I see

It's just the tree

Scratching the glass

In the dark!
