Tick - Tack - Toe

Tick - Tack - Toe

Through darkness softly whisper - tread gently...
Each creaking board - wrings shaking hands
Clenched tightly, eyes glistening brightly - focused...
Stifled sounds of distress stutter each baited breath
Inaudible to all but racing heart, and 
Chasing mind...

Drops of rain are fallen notes, missing
Scales hell bent to weave, and sew...
Tick - tack - toe 
Winds howl and blow 
Tack - tick - toe
Foot falls flow so low
Toe - tick - tack
Branches flail and whack 
Tick - tack - toe
Tick - tack - toe...

Dust creeps where shadows weep, engulfing 
Night to ever keep...
Hidden corners snare the scared, chaining those that
Never cared...
Long boards stretch and whine, as 
Stomachs wretch to fear and fright, while 
Eyes draw wide and beath subsides - to
Hold back cries...

Tick - tack - toe
Tick - tack - toe
Tick - tack - toe...

I'm gonna leave this fa now - maybe it needs something more ??
