The Stalker 

 

I feel your breath on my neck

With every step

Your nails digging

Into my skin

 

You never go deep enough

To draw blood 

That would show

Where you’ve been

 

Every corner

Every shadow

Every breath

You are there

 

In the dark of the night

You make it darker

Like a vampire

You like to suck 

Blood

 

Blood ~

The sweeter

The better

You crawl

Under my skin

 

You leave me

No space

To breathe

You never

Ever take

Your leave

Your incessant need

Doesn’t cease

 

You are the bump

In the night

You are the wolf

With the bite

 

You

Are

The cause

For my flight

 

Everywhere 

That I go

You

Follow

 

You are the ghost

In my nightmare

I cannot sleep 

I can’t eat

 

You invade

Every part of my life

Say you need

A wife

 

No matter

How far I run

You are there

With your knife

 

You have stolen my joy

You have ruined my life.

The jeopardy builds slowly in this piece Clare. You handle it well albeit in a state of deep concern. Nicely put together
