A Silent Night

That was a silent night,

And he was all alone

Everything was going alright,

And fell asleep ,ogling his phone.

All of a sudden he heard a baby girl's creepy scream

Woke up and looked for everywhere,

He thought it to be his bad dream

Because he found her nowhere.

Once again the girl screamed 'dad'!.

He hastenly woke up and saw a baby girl,

With a doll in hand but she was sad,

Wearing a necklace designed with pearl.

The girl was no one but his own child

Whom he killed with a sharp blade

Buried in the jungle of wild,

It passed a whole decade.

The little girl came forward

While he was in bed

When she lifted her face upward

Her eyes were fully red.
