Darkness
May 26, 2009
I stalk you,
Watch you,
Follow you.
Where ever you go,
I’m right behind you.
You can feel my eerie presence,
Feel my eyes burrowing into your back.
You’re terrified of me,
Though you cannot see me,
Silently stalking you.
I’m everywhere,
You can’t escape me.
I cloak you like a dream,
I will always surround you.
You can’t escape me.
You run,
You hide,
I still find you.
I will always find you.
I am driven to find you
Hiding.
You shake when I’m near,
You scream when I’m around you.
You start to sprint when I’m coming,
But you can’t escape me.
Even you know that.
I stalk you,
Watch you,
Follow you.

Well done. Seriously. It takes a special knack to pull off darker subjects like this without the piece sounding too overdone. You definitely have that knack - the repetition and the descriptions here were flawless and it made it just creepy enough to reach yout reader, and interesting enough to keep them fully alert.
