Stalker

With beating heart and dragging feet this dark and soulful night I stealthily tiptoe past her window hoping - not to see her light But bathed in luminosity she sits there in full view My hands go clammy yet again knowing not what to do My very own neighbour stalking me totally blows my mind Blatant betrayal of trust is not what I expected to find This person I befriended and in all innocence confided Her skewed level taken is so atrociously misguided Why did it go so horribly wrong - maybe I'm to blame? When did I notice that it had gone way beyond a game? It was when she started slipping notes underneath my door Saying she was worried senseless - and couldn’t sleep before I got home safely - it was fine - and know that she would wait She loved me and worried that I was coming home so late This declaration of love albeit sweet makes my skin start to crawl I should call security to have them a special alarm install At the door of my porch once again I find a single stem red rose Bringing perturbations and shallow breath as this agitation grows A fleeting shred of courage for confrontation I do seek But just the thought of facing her sends a knocking to my knees One day it all comes tumbling down when my girlfriend breaks my heart Waves of sorrow wash over me when I see my love depart Love is such a fleeting thing and my soul weeps from deep within Scandalous thoughts I do harbor - of granting my stalker in Tie the wedding knot - make it taut - cater to our every whim And into her arms some comfort seek - would it be such a sin? ~ Placed First in Contest~ Contest Entry for ‘STALKER’ - Sponsored by Silent One - 17th November 2017 Music – ‘Stalker’ by Goldfinger
