Birds fall silent, the ticking starts,
As shadows move to match your heart.
You know I'm close,
I'll hunt you down,
Wonder how your blood flows,
Follow through the entire town.
You stare at me and walk away,
I enjoy our twisted play.
I inch closer every time you fail,
As I follow your exact trail.
Why won't you just close your eyes?
You will be a feast for flies.
Sooner or later, you need to sleep,
Then I enter, without a peep.
Your meat makes my mouth water,
Just when I imagine the slaughter.
No one else can see,
Close your eyes on three.
One...
Oh, it will be so much fun.
Two...
I'll chase another as I chew,
Three...
Hear you whisper, "Leave me be!"
Out of your sight for just a bit,
Finally, I've made you quit.
You thought you'd be fine if you winked,
But that's not how it works; still, you blinked.
