I see you walking away from me.
I watch you looking over your shoulder.
I know you feel my breath on the back of your neck
You can walk and you can run but we both know I am only ever one step away from you.
You call me names and you fear me.
But I know you love me. I know you long for my dark embrace.
You talk big and you denounce my presence.
When you turn to me I only want to hold you in my dark arms and take you to my home.
You’ve been there before, no one else matters, it’s just you and me.
You have left me for now and you have promised to never let me hold you close again.
But I am close to you, I will always be close to you.
I only ask you to forsake all others to get my love. You want my darkness and I want to give it to you.
You can run but you will have to run for the rest of your life because I own a part of you now and I will never give you that part back.
You will have to learn to live with my dark temptation for the rest of your days.
Are you strong enough to skirt the edges of me for the coming decades?
We will see. I will be waiting for you when you choose to return.
I will always be waiting for you.
