Shadowed Love

***Please note that this poem deals with Stalking/Death which may be a trigger. Please read with caution.****

Tick tock

do you hear the clock?

I am coming for you.

Here

now

forever more.

Hide.

Run.

I will always find you hun.

Together

we will be one

as the gods have ordained

I read it in the bible

come to me

let us play one on one.

Upon the altar you lay

beautiful girl

draped in white

a bride of the night

Do not cry

shed no tears

I promise dear

the knives won’t hurt.

Draw

pierce

your screams

dulcet tones in my ears

trembling threads

blood red

your eyes become vacant.

Once upon a time

what I felt was called limerence

today

they will call it stalking

undesired attention

unwanted attraction.

Alas my love

everything could have been alright

if only you had cared.
