Footsteps in the dark
Surreptitiously you
approach
...my sanctuary you
encroach
creeping silently
like a dark wolf
stalking his prey…
trying to get clues
about my life
watching me from behind
your intentions are
to unsettle me.
I say one word in my defense
Your feet stampede
through the rooms
breaking floor
boards
Only once I think you
have left
Can I breathe and settle
in for some sleep
Only to hear your
footsteps approach
again and again and
again
each time, the
insults and threats
escalate
