I’m no longer alone now,
In my dreams.
Now there’s a dark shadow
And it’s watching me.
All.
The.
Time.
I don’t have a moment’s peace,
As it follows me,
Judges me,
Mocks me.
It’s faceless
And monstrous.
A void of broken trust
And hypocrisy.
There is no safety,
No sanctity,
And as things stand
No way out.
I wake haunted
And scan the darkness of my room
Am I really safe,
Alone,
No.
I feel eyes on me.
The shadow is there
I can’t escape the voice in my head
“They are always watching you"
And I’ll never be free.
It’s a dangerous thing
Giving power to the faceless
But I have none left to give
Because it was taken
Secretly, silently,
And I can’t get that back.
I am betrayed.
Afraid
And lost.
If you are so intent to follow,
And watch me,
Then I’ll lead you to the darkness
And you can see it consume me.
Because of you.
