Stalker

By SilentStalker


I've tracked you down for many days;
I've followed you through alleyways.
You haven't even seen me yet,
But when you do, you won't forget.

I wanted you first at the store;
I saw you there five times before.
And you were always all alone;
And now I want you for my own.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

So here we are my lovely one;
My suffering has just begun.
Where do you live? I want to know;
I do not know yet where to go.

 I follow close behind your car;
 You do not even go too far.
 You stop off quick to get some gas;
 I watch you every time you pass.

  You do not even notice me.
  How lucky could I ever be?
  But maybe you just didn't care
  To try to see me sitting there.

   And now the pain; you love me not.
   My face is red; my head is hot.
   Just go home now and you will see
   The punishment for shunning me.

    So now you're home; and I am too.
    I park my car away from you.
    I sneak up as you go inside;
    You do not know how hard I cried.

     The sky is dark; it's getting late.
     It's hurting worse the more I wait.
     But nonetheless, this much I knew;
     I had to get in there with you.

      I quietly unlock the door;
      I tiptoe softly on the floor.
      I hide, completely from your sight.
      I wait till you turn out the light.

       You're all undressed and fast asleep.
       Your snoring shows your slumber's deep.
       And all my patience now is lost;
       I must have you at any cost.

And here we are my lovely one;
My suffering will soon be done.
In just a moment, you'll be mine,
And everything will turn out fine.

I kiss you once to show my love, 
Once more to thank the stars above, 
And last to give you all my best, 
Before I send your soul to rest. 

I grab a pillow from the bed.  
I press it down over your head.  
You wake up, flailing in distress;  
I hold your arms down on your chest.  

You cannot swing; you cannot scream.   
I tell you that it's just a dream.   
Go back to sleep; don't try to fight.   
You will not get away tonight.   

And so it's done; my task is through.    
I lie down in the bed with you.    
I hold you in my arms gently;    
I only want you next to me.    

I run my hands across your face.     
Your hair I stroke; your lips I taste.     
You're still so warm; you smell so sweet.     
I brush my toes across your feet.     

On top of you I feel delight.      
But something just does not seem right.      
You can't even return a kiss;      
Will I not know what pleasure is?      

But so is fate; I will not cry.       
Yet still I question myself why.       
I leave you there upon your bed;       
The only love I had is dead.       

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
And though my pain is all but gone,
I have my faith to carry on.
I'll try to find somebody new;
I hope that she will be like you.

Yet this time I will not forget
That killing only brings regret.
But how else will I take her heart
Without tearing my own apart?

    The only word I can think to describe this is.....familiar. I had a stalker once. I've actually had 3, but only on went this far. Reading this was like reliving what happened all over again. Vivid. But, I mean, great write. You can actually feel the emotions of this guy, feel his sorrow, his regret. You have a gift.

Out of the "Many" here I've enjoyed or lusted, I had my eye out for you, and I thought it was "quietly".. So glad I didn't get a call back from the detective i was sending to locate you... =) Besides, A friendship is much better cause then I don't have to kill you... =) Scholar

    This took me places, not good places, but places nonetheless.. ;) Nice write.

  • A former member wrote: This is really good. I've had more than a few fatal attraction type situations in my life and this is a very good representation of their mindset. I do not wonder how you know that. This piece definitely spoke to me. I found it excellent.

    ...when I wrote the majority of these poems (especially obsession related ones), someone's physical form was a direct inspiration of the poem...had to have the desire in my body to write a feeling based upon it, after all...never told half of them they inspired such a thing; they'd have probably called the MPs on me or something... :D Scholar

    Wow. You really did an excellent job here. This doesn't feel like something written just to be "ooo scary stalker poem eek!". You can really get a sense of the twisted obsession and "love" that this person feels. Well done.

    ...it can actually sicken me the way I used to think back when I finished writes like this...although I'd never want to lose these, as that time was when I had felt the best (and worst) in my life so far... Scholar
