Outside My Window

I hear his slow footsteps, 
crunching the leaves of the Maple tree...
Outside my window.
I cannot breathe, I cannot move, 
I do not know this man...
Outside my window.
My heart pounding with every step, 
I can feel his presence...
Outside my window.
As courage floods my veins, I run for help,
but he's gone...
Outside my window.
