PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

tonight was the first time
in a long time where
I felt insecure and vulnerable
tonight was the first night
where i was scared
you followed me home

tonight it took me hours
to calm down
it took another guy
to call and talk me down
panic attack
after i realized you were there
all i could do was shake

i sank to the ground
i sat there
trying to decide where i went wrong
i tried to understand why
why would you stalk me, follow me
why, since you ended it,
were you standing right behind me

before i went to bed I checked
each door
each window
trying to convince myself i was safe
trying to convince myself the locks
would hold
wouldn't give

then this morning
i get up, got ready
to meet my mister right
and you were right there
deciding once again
to haunt my every moment

you were in my dreams last night
all i could feel as fear
pure adrenaline surging in MY body
as i ran barefoot through a forrest
of thorns
all i could feel was pain
it was like a drug
keeping me alive until you could come
for me
I tripped

to wake up in a bed soaked with sweat,
blankets thrown to the ground
the only thing that was left was me
and the teddy bear i was clutching
