Stranger Danger

When a stranger becomes stalker, the life you lead comes into question. Was it something I said, that someone took offense . Was it your objection or endless rejections to suitors seduction that fell short of enticing and sorely lacking in suspense.

For what you can’t have, you’ll take in due time. Building up fluids to be spilled upon me, your wine.

At first you did frighten, enough to lose sleep. But, now I am learning, your patterns. Your needs.

Are you ready for me? I’ve something special lined up. I’m certain you’ll approve. It’s all those things that you love!

I’ll be home by 9, but you know this already. Having studied me carefully, unnoticed by many.

But, I quickly caught on to the times you invaded. An intruder made himself comfortable and in the closet he waited.

How cold was that blade when it entered your heart? Were you scared when I continued to snuff out your light?

Are you cold? Of course you are. Your dying. In the very manner you’d planned for me. 

Sirens are getting closer. As for you, you’ll cease to be
