In Sight

I saw you walking, many times.

Followed that sweet scent.

You saw me, too.

I know you knew.

I thought we might be friends.

You smiled.

I took it as a sign.

Days and days went by.

I looked for you.

What did I do?

You've been gone for quite some time.

I stopped by your apartment-

Circled 'round the back.

I lost my nerve.

These thoughts, absurd,

Distracted me from your attack...

Now, my head is throbbing.

My wrists are bound and sore.

Why am I gagged?

What's in that bag?

I don't think I like you, anymore.

I must've stalked a widow-

Now, I'm stranded in her trap.

How many days-

Had I been her prey?

It was then I felt a slap.

You are mine, she whispered.

Your friends all think you're dead.

You took the bait.

Now, it's too late.

You're stuck here in my head.

Let's play a game, she giggled.

You've got some time to spare.

I heard a noise-

Then, saw her toys-

And heard her softly swear.

F*ck, a knife is missing-

She muttered as she searched.

I formed a plan-

With knife in hand.

I just hoped that it would work.

Breaking free, I stabbed her-

And went rushing for the door.

I'd run away-

There'd come a day-

I wouldn't want her anymore.

Yet, when I started outside,

My vision blurred and turned to red.

The entire scene-

Felt like a dream-

I woke up- strapped to a bed.

You are mine, forever-

I heard her softly say.

You saw me walking; 

But, it was I, stalking-

And, now, you're here to stay...

You'll never get away, she said.

I'll never get away...
