I'm a Creep

by Gypsy Blue Rose


For Dean
here in the shadows

I die slowly day by day

knowing deep inside
 


you don't even know my name
 


I follow you
 
step by step to catch a glimpse
 
of your beautiful face
 


you don't even know my name
 


but I'm a creep
 
and no one you would care
 
to know well
 
 


you don't even know my name
 


I wonder what would take
 
for you to turn around
 
and see Me at last
 


you don't even know my name
 


the voice inside me

tells me what to do with you

l will grab a gun
 


and I will be the last thing you see
 
 
 
 




I woke up in the middle of the night and this poem came to mind.

Getting ready for Halloween, another creepy poem ... hehehe.

I used a senryu suite and one line refrain

SENRYU is a Japanese poem with a title that deepens its meaning. Senryu is similar to Haiku but It's about human nature and it doesn't include a season word (kigo). It's written in three lines with 17 syllables or less. These poems use a pause usually marked by a dash before the satori (an insightful twist to ponder). Alliteration and metaphor are okay. Never rhymes. the em-dash ( -- ) is used to emphasize an interruption in speech before the satori.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read and review my poem.
