"Knock!" "Knock!"

Gloomy morning- I heard a knock

Not the knock that you know,

Not the knock that you joke,

Not the knock that you are thinking,

Not the knock from the door.

"Knock!" "Knock!"

Again... but I couldn't decipher where the knock is coming from,

I was puzzled and glued on my own feet

"Knock!" "Knock!"

Again.

"Knock!" "Knock!"

Beads of sweat are starting to form

My lips shaking, unable to utter even just a word

"Knock!" "Knock!"

I look up.

There.

Finally, I saw where the knock is coming from.

"Knock! Knock!"

It was clearer this time.

"Knock! Knock!"

I answered carefully and slowly, "Yes?"

He took a step forward; leaving me no choice but to step back.

Backward... forward... backward... forward... bac-

But it was a mistake- my back touched the thick, cold wall.

He smiled.

Devilishly.

I cringe in fear, feeling hopeless to escape.

"Knock!" "Knock!" but his voice now soft...

"Y-yes?" I can't even utter a word properly

He whispered,

"Knock, knock. Can I come into your life?"

He look at me straight in the eyes,

like a lost sheep in the wilderness...

I nod.

// Knock! Knock!
