The following poem was written for a horror poetry competition I entered as part of my recent 30 day writing challenge. Honestly I don’t even know if it counts as horror, more psychological thriller perhaps… anyway, here you go….
ALWAYS FIXED ON YOU
The view from my window
Always fixed on you
You walking, sometimes alone or not
It matters little to me, or my eyes
Always fixed on you
Sometimes I think you see me
You look in, I’m looking out
Do you hear me screaming?
Know the fears behind my stare?
You look in, I’m looking out
There was a time of happiness
My flesh remained untorn
Until I saw you looking back
With dark glaze on worn face
My flesh remained untorn
I wait here every day
Our connection in our knowing
We tell no one of what we see
What we feel or how it hurts
Our connection in our knowing
Maybe this will be the moment
When we’ll both be saved by fate
My words will heal, your heart
Will slash and burn like my desperate skin
When we’ll both be saved by fate
I’ll watch and wait as they pull you in
They might look back and see
My tortured shadow through the glass
Then see, it’s you not me
They might look back and see
Or I will remain at your window
Bleeding, crying, dying. Always fixed on you.

Thank you Polly, so glad you stopped by to read it.
the poem was gripping the photo eerie and perfect
Bless you Mr Blissful. Not my usual style but that was the brief… Watcha gonna do?! Thanks for the compliment, glad you enjoyed it. How are you travels?
Travels are on pause now my friend and I must return to this thing called writing. I am excited to be back in the saddle and look forward to more from you 🙂
Good to have you back…
The emphasis on the return point was cool, especially as the poem started to shift and explore.
Thank you Seb, appreciate your visit and comment.
Excellent poem
Nick
it def has a creepy factor…you use language well to build the menace toward the end there on the chance they meet
A emotional journey in the amazing poem. Thank you. Left me with a sad vision and thoughts.
