YOU..I?....WHY?!


it gets dark in this town...

perfect for you

avoiding your conflict has become hard 

i see you stalk me at night when i walk by

i know your listening when i talk

im distanceing my self from you 

but that doesnt work

you only show in the lonely dark so i cant see you

you could be anyone i pass in my day

your letters get stranger

first you write with your own blood

next you write how much of a delite i am...

and tell me im the only thing you live for 

then i see how you follow my car

no star shines bright enough to reveal you 

you drive past my home as i pull into my drive way

when you you leave and say not but a thing

i know not of your identity

only of your masked presence

your hesitance frightens me...greatly

your residence not known of

you put me on the highest of thrones 

i only wish of your face to be shown 

so you cant haunt me any more

you taunt me with your sick letters 

telling me youd knit a sweater out of my hair...?

and how much you care about me but i do not know of you 

why must you scout me out this way

why oh why do i interest you in such a way

you tell me how you cant wait for my hair to grow longer so you can keep it

you tell me in your letters how you cant wait to tie me up in your shack...

and how ill love it there 

you tell me the hell ill go thru if i move away or cut my hair

i see youve even gotten in my house 

i found my cloths all over the floor 

every door wide open

pictures all over the floor of a masked and cloaked man wareing my cloths

and now youve even replaced my face in my family photos 

now your even in my bed when i come home 

your all around and in me 

youve replaced my talent 

i see what you are now.........

your the thing ive become
