Fear

unseen

unforgiving

nipping at my heals

its presence a noose

around my neck

cold grip on my heart

and no hope in sight

it stalks me

like a ghost

a shadow I know

too well to recall

its features forever

changing

unseen

unforeseen

visible to none

it’s my stalker

my partner in crime

against myself.
