The clock struck twelve at midnight Tick-tick-tick-tick goes on Suddenly woke up from my sleep A shadow passing my window With a sharp knife Whole body sweating with fear Hands and legs tied with creepers of thorns Breaking my bones by inches Darkness capturing the room Someone was trying to unlock the door Bang-Bang knocking on the door Threatening to **** me Became dumb in vain to shout It was calling my name with a roar Pushed opened the door And the shadow came in with the knife Nearing me with blood drops from its eyes Came in force with the sharp edge To pierce into my stomach Now the face was clear for me Recognising it as depression Abiding full strength breaking the creepers Became the shadow's murderer!
