Abyssal Labyrinth

The Tapping

Listen close, listen quiet,

Do you hear the tapping?

My family thinks I'm crazy

But they're the ones who're laughing

Tip tap, tip tap,

First it was at night

Then it started haunting me

Past the first dawn light

Where it comes from?

I don't know

It always comes but never goes

Last night was a peculiar one

It was the last I saw the sun

I walked across the hallway floor

It began to tap one more

The basement door was loud indeed

I thought for sure that I'd succeed

Then, my scream echoed for miles

And no one lived there for a while.
