You breathe
Making contrails
On the thin glass
That separates our lives
I know you're out there
I can feel you
Looking in
What is it you expect?
Do you want to see me
Exposed and laid bare?
You're afraid
You won't make a sound
You just stare
Paralyzed
I know you want
Come and take
Are you ready?
Do you dare?
I ache for you
Hair trigger tension
Ripping my soul
I'll lure you in
Subdue you
Devour you
I...
I am...
I have..
I must have...
No!
Stop!
Regain control!
For now
And for now
You watch
And....
I wait
