I'm Watching You

A girl being stalked

   Stalked by a living nightmare

  She stays awake and feels his stare

  Ears listen for every sound

  She can't keep her fear down

  Images sway in dismay

  As they taunt their prey

  

  Air burns in frighten screams

  Oh, how she wishes it to be a dream

  But eyes are opened wide

  Sleep won't come even if she tried

  Nowhere to flee

  He ignores her pleas

  Heart breaks into unsettled nerves

  She fears he's around the curve

  He is watching her every move

  What does he have to prove?

  Eerie sounds become creepy

  How can she be sneaky?

  Obsession continually fills his mind

  He knows she's his kind

  The time is coming soon

  He'll take her under the full moon

  Eyes squint through binoculars

  Her sexy face satisfies him particular

   Time is erasing hope

   She cannot cope

   He's in her house

   She's trying to be quiet as a mouse

   Hands grasp an arm

   Her gun is disarmed

   A wicked laugh escapes

   He plans to rape

   A boom rings out

   The gun went off without a doubt

   Pleas beg for her not to kill

    She cries we have no deal

Suspense poem!

I'm ..... I don't know what I am. I am a man. And as I wrote in my poem 'I Am A Man' I am ashamed to be a man sometimes. All the time. Every day I turn on the news and have new reason to be ashamed. That women have to be frightened of us. This hurt the part of my heart that needs to hurt in order to understand. And got what he deserved in the end! Wow Kathy! Good poem on top of the powerful subject!

Thank you, Bill!

A poem story well narrated. Sounds to me as though he got his comeuppance. Lucky she had a gun. A fitting end.

Wow! pretty haunting and it surely wasn't a dream. Very dark and scary; the ending was really good. I like the writing, your choice of words for this horror tale is excellent. Well done!
Best, Betty

Dark and terrifying, too much for me as a victim and survivor but as a poem and work of fiction it was well done, I like dark but not so much this topic but you did write it very well. Hugs!

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

Whoeeee! This was scary and powerful. I feel a hungry beast is fixing to devour his prey, emotionally and sexually. A rape victim. Wow. I hope this is fiction and not real. It is sadenning.

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

[Sami Khalil]
