Tick, Tock

Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock

All I hear
In this old house
No rain or winds
Not even a mouse

Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock

A creak of my door
As I take an adventure
This night owl
Follows her curiosity for sure

Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock

I hear no drip, drops
Or a yowling cat
I see only darkness
And it's welcome mat

Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock

Ding, dong!
Grandfather clock thunders
Telling me it's midnight
No more blunders

Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock

I know something's here
But I'm not sure where
I sit up, lay back down
Sleep shan't be fair

Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock

I hear a soft creak
My door glides open
My cat it must be
But then a voice has spoken

Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock

"Hello, Stephanie."
I stifle a shriek
The tick, tock continues on
Bang! A shot to my arm, making me weak

Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock

I let out a scream
Running footsteps coming to the rescue
Tick, tock, tick, tock
A light flips on to show the real you

Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock

"Good bye, Stephanie"
Pressing the gun to my head, a tear is shed
Tick, tock, tick, tock
Bang! All is black as I lay dead
