It's been a year, only one week to the day

I've seen you from a distance and I've tried to stay away

From watching and waiting patiently right here for you

Backed into a corner these feelings I can't subdue

I'd follow you to the very ends

Of this hollow meaningless earth

Introduce you to the beginning

Of your end for all that its worth

For months I've lurked in the shadows

Directly outside of your room

Entranced in my elation

I've watched your every move

Countless times I've imagined the look on your face

Frantically searching for an exit

By the time that you notice I'll start to give chase

I'll tear at your back in seconds flat

My fingers tremble as I quickly close the gap

My presence in the air around you makes it hard to breathe

Please believe me when I say this I could live inside you

You've barely witnessed what I've hidden up my sleeve

Trying to escape only delays the inevitable

I'll sever your Achilles tendons then where will you go

Keep running I'll find you, the pursuit is half the fun

Awareness elevated the excitement of the hunt

Your warmth intoxicates me

Like a drug it makes me numb

Your body becomes the vessel

For these sordid urges gruesome

Knowing the risks of being caught

In unspeakable acts of abduction

Only added a bit of a thrill to the thought

Of the bringing of your destruction

Countless times I've imagined the look on your face

Frantically searching for an exit

By the time that you notice I'll start to give chase

I'll tear at your back in seconds flat

My fingers tremble as I quickly close the gap

My presence in the air around you makes it hard to breathe

Please believe me when I say this I could live inside you

You've barely witnessed what I've hidden up my sleeve
