The Romance of the Reaper

Inspired by a stalker I've recently had at school. Written from a stalker's perspective

The Romance of the Reaper

I've been overcome by an obsession

For a heart of which I cannot claim possession

Written in this sickening sin is the dedication preaching my love

Do no be scared, all that I want is to protect you from this world's tantalizing touch

Why do you run?

I've been overcome by an obsession

For a heart of which I cannot claim possession

And I care not about the repercussions

Of feeding this poisonous passion

I cannot ignore this coarse force torturing my anymore

Leave my bashful body bloodied on the floor, make me into your little w***e

Why do I run?

I've been overcome by an obsession

For a heart of which I cannot claim possession

And I care not about the repercussions

Of feeding this poisonous passion

Over your I watch, for without you I am lost

Your enemies I stalk, on the hunt for their blood

Through fire and frost I will persevere for this lust

For you are my God, and I'm the Christ nailed to the cross

I've been overcome by an obsession

For a heart of which I cannot claim possession

And I care not about the repercussions

Of feeding this poisonous passion

You are my love

To you I will devote my soul

You are my lust

Until the day my eyes forever close

You are my God

With this act of violence, I protect you from the cold

I care not about the repercussions that may unfold

Author's Note

I am finally back! Boy, is there a story that inspired this one. Basically, in the last few weeks, somebody who I became friends with around the beginning of this school year developed an unhealthy obsession with me, I told her that if she we couldn't be friends anymore (it was getting pretty creepy), and she proceeded to stalk me whenever she could in school. Eventually, I told my school's counselors about it, and they confronted her about it. This led to her getting so angry that she treated to murder me with a knife. At this point, the guidance counselors took her to my school's therapist and put her in In School Suspension, and now she is not allowed to be anywhere near me. Overall, I wasn't really shaken up (I'm certain she wouldn't have carried her threat through), but it was definitely an experience. Figures, I generally write dark material, and then, poof! I have a crazy girl wanting to "do things" to me. Anyway, I apologize for not uploading anything of about 2 months. I just had to wait for inspiration to strike, and boy, it sure did! As usual, tell me what you think. :)

Wow that's pretty crazy. Good thing it didn't take a worse turn. You handled the situation very well.

I enjoyed this poem. You did a good job writing the insanity and obsession of the stalker alongside with its unhealthiness.

Well, this is a very late response, so I apologize for that lol. Anyway, I've been told by many that I handled the situation well, which I'm glad I did. Thanks for reviewing, I'm glad you liked this! :)

Wow, that's pretty intense! I've had a stalker problem before as well, but not to that extent. It sounds like you handled the whole situation really well though, telling somebody about it was a good move. This should surly inspire you for a while!

Well now that I know the back story, I think you did well by writing this in her perspective. It sounds very unhealthy, and the last two lines made me shiver. The aspect of referring to another person as your God also adds a lot of intensity.

Glad to see that despite that experience, your handling it well :)

Thanks, Amber. I have to say though, this isn't written necessarily from her perspective. Although she did have an unhealthy obsession with me, I'm pretty sure she wasn't going to the level of the individual with the perspective I was writing about (at least I hope not, lol.) Yeah, I got told by many that I handled the situation well. I'm glad to hear that you thought this piece was good ( I certainly felt inspired while writing it!). Anyway, how're things with college, if you don't mind me asking?

[Amber Lily]

Lol either way it makes for a good poem. What an interesting way to wrap up your senior year!

Things are going pretty well for me, I've been doing college for a year straight without a break, so I finally decided to take one. For the next two months I'm free! It feels really good to not be constantly thinking about my next assignment and other such things. Now I can catch up on other things I've been missing out on. Such as read requests... lol

[DoormanDan]

Well, that's a good thing to do. You always have to make sure you take care of yourself more than anything. :)

[Amber Lily]

True, need to be healthy physically and mentally to get things done! :)
