Archer

I am like an archer that comes after
You with his bow and arrow.
You always wanted someone edgier.

You mistake me as someone too narrow
And straight for your liking.
If only you truly know

What you are asking for. I am taking
Away your memories. I am
Abducting all your hope. I am bringing

You nothing in return. I do not give a damn
About your ego or your selfish ways.
I always want to slam

You with the truth and leave you in a daze.
I want you to feel what I feel.
This is no way to lead you through a maze.

You thought I was going to steal
Everything you have left, but that will only
Leave you numb. If you want me to peel

Back all the layers, I will. You will feel unholy
And unloved, but isn’t that what you wanted?
If only you knew how closely

I have been watching you like you are being hunted
And sought after like prey. You should not be afraid
That I will hurt you, but I will leave you haunted.
