To Stalk / Or Be Stalked

I walk through the rain

I walk the same route every day.

I come into contact with you always

And only today did I notice you properly.



I see you in the rain spattered window

At night, I see you.

But, I do not want you to see me

When I think our eyes will meet I hide.



But tonight, just now

Our eyes did meet.

And, for a second

I saw anger and fear in your eyes.



The lights went out and I hid in the shelter of the darkness

But that did not stop you.

I heard the cock back of the gun

You have with you always.



You come through the door

You turn the safety off.

Your identity forever protected,

You pull the trigger...
