I Am Behind You.

Goldfinch60



I walk the streets in the evening

As day turns into night.

I hide in the shadows

Hoping nobody sees me

As I trail people,

Following them along their paths,

Their paths into darkness.

Most just walk on into their lives,

So I walk on as well

Seeking others.

I am with you all the time

But you just do not realise,

Do not that I am with you.

The time will come when

When you need me

And I will be there,

Be there for you.

You just cannot escape me

No matter how old you become,

I will catch up with you

And you know that I will be there,

Be there throughout your life

And you will be mine in time.

People often ask the question

“Death where is you sting?”

I can answer that question,

“I am behind you!”

    Thank you Orchi.

  • L. B. Mek

    Brilliant!
    (I like Death, depicted
    ever-present, but
    harmlessly, blunted
    till our Time, arrives)
    'Death be not Proud!' indeed

    Wonderful write! Not your typical write but a little dark......I like it!!

  • dusk arising

    Bloody stalkers! I saw you in Tesco's hiding behind the frozen peas then craftily peeping out of some festering sliced ham in the reduced rack.

    Good to see you throwing poetic knifes of horror and haunting at us - and don't you do it well. Spooky.

  • Rozina

    Unescapable fate. A spooky one.
