The source of that mysterious sound
I shudder to the eerie night
And chug down water for some respite.
I berate my little beating heart
The coward it is that beats so fast
My courage now i rise to test
With my heart smashing against my chest.
And then in a corner dimly-lit
I get a faint glimpse of it
The night its ally and its cloak
Was it to this that i disturbingly awoke?
The rest of its form unseen
Its feline eyes staring back at me
I jump right out off bed
A reflex out of sheer dread.
I stare at its form revealed
That lay in the dark so long concealed
I realize what i stare at
Is a terrifying jet black cat!
And then all terror, panic seize
As i hear the rustling leaves
and the trees knocking the window panes
Driving me with fear insane!
But my nightmare just seems to begin
As my ready instincts kick in
For the cat lunges now at me
As i struggle hard to break free.
The window panes break open
As a gust of wind rushes in
And as i wrestle with the cat
I am hit on my head so bad.
I slump like a body dead
Clutching my split head
I lie in a pool of dark blood
That pours out like a flood.
I feel the presence of imminent death
As i count my fading breath
My vision blurs, i lose all sight
I go into the silent night.
I wake up with a sudden start
And carefully check for damaged parts
I see no cats and no blood stains
I see no wounds and i feel no pain.
But i have left something behind
Something i can't return to find
I woke up free, I feel so light
For i am sure i was DEAD THAT NIGHT!
