Stalker

I remember seeing that shadow; it had that distinct shape She hovered around me a few weeks back but surely enough she disappeared Now it's returned and I recall the feeling of dread she gave me the first time she visited Because that anxiety returned A pair of eyes that penetrate my head, can see my inner being and thoughts race The shadow knows what games to play She plays hop-scotch on my fear Rolls dice to decide my insecurity I cannot fathom the depth of her cruelty She is the snake when I escape up a ladder only to slide down her and start this game again I may never win The shadow keeps returning A black storm cloud over my head of distrust Forever playing games to monopolise and take me away to her lair I wait for the sunlight Where the shadow cannot follow.
