Notes About The Poem

Stalker

Every morning when I wake there she is through the window,
Standing with her eyes open wide,
Not moving or walking, standing still in a gown, 
In the cold that’s the morning outside,

In the winter with ice, with wind and with chill, 
She stares, her eyes I can see,
Her eyes are jet black on her face that is white, 
Her eyes that force me to re-

Define my own world, my moment of now, 
Check on the things that I feel,
Check on how much she’s forcing my Me, 
To figure out what’s even real.

Every morning when I wake I see her outside, 
And I know she stands in my mind,
Because when I wake I remember each day, 
That I can’t see because I am blind.
