Each and every moment of each and every day, <br />I became obsessed with her in every single way. <br />I followed her home from school, <br />my diary tells it all: <br />a crazy man, and a bloody fool. <br />Riding for a fall. <br /> <br />Each and every minute of each and every hour, <br />the pressed leaves of her sheltered life, <br />made her the perfect flower. <br />I watched her from a distance, <br />her beauty to admire. <br />She became my fantasy, <br />and an object of desire. <br /> <br />Each and every season of each and every year, <br />my world was void of reason. <br />I lived in black despair. <br />Dangerous thoughts and passions, <br />ruled a desperate soul. <br />Lust and blind ambition, <br />rent my self-control. <br /> <br />Each and every second of my waking life, <br />I studied how to beckon; <br />to take her as a wife. <br />Transfix her with a hypnotic gaze, <br />my steely eyes like ice. <br />Entrap her in a psychic maze, <br />or some other charmed device. <br /> <br />Each and every moment of each and every day, <br />I was the fierce tiger that stalks a craven prey. <br />Each and every minute of each and every hour, <br />I strived to impress her with my potency and power. <br />Each and every season of each and every year, <br />I roll the memory around my mind: <br />her eyes afire with fear. <br /> <br />Each and every instance of my allotted time, <br />to contemplate her innocence, <br />recalls a heinous crime. <br />I count out my life in short steps now. <br />I pace a tiny cell. <br />I sink beneath the lowest depths, <br />to reach my special hell.<br /><br />David SmithWhite<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/song-the-stalker/
