Silhouette Of A Man

He is always near, never far away
Creeping up behind me, following closely
I see him when I glance into the mirror
Looking right back at me
His eyes of steel filling with tears
He knows what I have done, someone has let the secret loose
I feel him laying beside me in bed, waking me up in the middle of the night
I can feel his eyes on the back of my neck
Wherever I go, he is always there
Stalking my every step away from him
Inching closer and closer towards me
I hear his whispering in everything that I do
Telling me how I had wronged him
He will never forgive me, never forget
The floorboards creak as the indistinct figure reaches closer
With every step he takes, my heart beats that much faster
A fanatical laugh sounds in the distance
I try to run away, leave him behind
Keep running is all that comes to my mind
Me legs go weak as I fall to the ground
My tears stream down my porcelain face
Shimmering in the glistening moonlight
Fall hard upon the ground I am laying on
With each, a pounding pain searing into my chest
Making a hole right above my heart
I hear the laugh again getting closer and closer
I look back as a shadowed silhouette comes into view
I start to crawl away, pain gnawing at my insides
I scream in agony,
I cry in pain,
I tremble in panic,
I fall in suffering
I hear leaves crackling beneath his feet
I look through the side of my eyes, catch a glimpse of a shining silver knife
Tears falling to the hole engraved into my chest
But I know, bleeding hearts shed no tears
His wraith consumes me, takes me down with him
As I die in distress under the stars that night
Anguished by a silhouette of a man named guilt.
