Creature outside my window

 The dark circles under my eyes

if i tell you you'll laugh inside

If i tell you'll call me a freak

cause each and every night i can't sleep 

why you may think

ask the creature

that taps my window

each and every night

its long narrow finger, slender and straight

finding it way to my window pane

it returns each night

and stays till dawn 

tapping all night, the horrid sound  piercing my mind

I can't see its face, only the shadow of its head

cracks in the window glass

a dirty nail that taps

it says nothing, not a word

but taps and taps my window

i tell those i know, they just laugh

but every single night the creature wins our little fight

and finds it way to my window at night.
