The big tree in the courtyard

Forgive me, oh please forgive me

             That vulnerable child cried

As the big tree had trapped it down

             And hold it tightly tied

The heartbeat starts sinking

             And the limbs become numb

With even a slight glance of that tree

             When screams become dumb

When the wind slowly blows

             Through its innumerable branches

The hissing sound that it creates

             Tells your probable chances

You stand right in front of it

             And look into its dense branches

You see a face of a ghost

             Giving you hungry glances

You step and crush the dead dried leaves

             When you move one step back

And you find that your feet is glued

             Onto that hostile track

The rotten bones that you see underneath it

             Cries and tells the whole story

Drops of blood trickling down from it

             Increasing the existing fury

Then the ghost comes down from the tree

             With just the hands and the head

Its eyes and teeth terrifies your instincts

             And the claws are wet and red

It’s hungry to feed on your flesh

             It’s thirsty to drink your blood

The jaws and claws are waiting out there

             Like a sharp edge stud

You scratch your voice out of your throat

             But it’s somewhere lost

             In the density of the tree

You apply all your damn energy

             But there’s nobody

             Who can set you free

The roots fall down of the branches

             And rolls all through your waist

The picks and thorns enter your veins

             And enjoys that hot blood taste

You know that you’re finished

             And ultimately you give it up

The branches have got their orders

             To finally take you up

So, there stands the tree

             And that ghost under its guard

Now every mortal is warned about

             The big tree in the courtyard
