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?

    This my freind, is creepy as hell. At the same time, you've delved right into the innocense of "the" stalkers plight. The ending stanza, brings warmth into this story...and a bit of sympathy for the killer. Amazing work. ~JMDW~

    Stalkers of the night.It's too bad that the only people you notice in intimate ways tend to be the ones who don't seem to notice you.the sweet irony of society.

    damn very nice piece, so intense and filled with emotions happiness,pleasure,sorrow all piled into to one interesting write,thanks for sharing

  • A former member wrote: I can indentify with the beginning cause I'll admit I've stalked people on occasion... but yeah... I fell madly in love with my prey and I think the feeling's kinda mutual, so the end of this isn't as easy for me to grasp. Great write tho. *grins*
