Stalker

I'm terrified...it follows me

it waits in the corner when I'm alone

darkness lurking on the sunniest of days

it seems to leave on the gloomiest days

I know it's still there...waiting

I can't escape it...

I see it, it stops when I stop

when I talk to it...

it stares at me dumbfounded

as in disbelief...

I think it sleeps under my bed at night

I think I don't like him anymore...

It must be stopped

eliminated, killed. how?

My shrink says...

the only way to rid myself of this stalker

to stay in the dark...all the time

am I paranoid? losing my mind?

In my blackened room

on a sunny noon day, my black drapes drawn

I opened the drapes just a bit

and there he was on the floor behind me

standing in the sliver of light that crept through the opening

my shrink was right...eternal darkness the cure...
