watching from a distance, stalking you in real time
no intention of hurting, just committing a crime
I'm taking you with me, far from another's view
I'll be elusive, and act like I never knew
watching from the shadows, I can smell your scent
they will be looking, not knowing where you went
you will be protected, remain beautiful but not fresh
nothing's going to stop me from feeling your breath
forceful as I take you, you're a fighter I can tell
wanting to escape me, you belong in my hell
over time I'll free you, distance you from my thought
I won't let you take them, mementos, they're all I got
watching from a distance, not knowing if you're alive
intriguing that I left you, hoping you will survive
I'll be back, when the night returns from the day
nobody's going to catch me, I always get away

Kind of creepy and I was waiting for the punch line of it being an animal of flower or something.
Um Sorry, i have to start thinking of ending like that. Thank you for saying that, i will have try to lead one way but end up at a surprise end.
I like growing as a writer and your comments are being taken in, i am just slow at applying them.
have a great day.
Not slow at all. In fact you did the double take on me and I appreciate that. Poems should not always end the way the reader expects that would take the joy out of reading. Loved the poem and the surprise at it not going the way I was expecting.
And I will bless them that bless thee,
Reminiscent of "Every Breath You Take" by The Police. Very possessive and 'atmospheric' in a captivating way!
