Something tried to tell me something. Maybe, it’s me
Some strange, unseen being sees me everywhere I’ll be
Something knows and I, too, know somewhere in this vicinity
Some strange sense of loneliness is not meant to be
Once for yes. Two for no.
Any odd count will let me know you’re here
Be it right or be it wrong
Bump in the night. The night is long I fear.
Someone may be blindly haunting where they were before
Someone trying not to scare me scares me even more
Something lurks and I, too, lurk somewhere I might explore
Some odd nook, a cabinet, a room, or corridor
Once for yes. Two for no.
Knock, tap, or bang to tell me that you’re near
Be it right or be it wrong
Bump in the night. The night is long I fear
Sometimes this unsettling substance that persists this eve
Somehow places its existence where I can believe
Sometimes not but I will know this world I’ll surely leave
Somehow, if there’s a beyond someplace you may conceive
Was that ‘yes’ or was that ‘no’?
Was it the house that settled? Oh, my dear!
Am I right or am I wrong?
Bump in the night. The night is long I fear.
