Shadow Rider
He looks at me with that odiously evil face
A putrid piece of humanity
A curse upon the human race
A cancer
A pox like shadow on the surface of the sun
All things considered
One malignant piece of worthless scum
Shadow rider, I curse his name
He doesn’t care
He has no shame
I look away far too late
He senses my weakness
I seal my fate
His lips curl, a twisted sneer
Insidiously feeding off my every fear
I shake and tremble
Start to cry
Shadows back
Someone somewhere
Is going to die
Run, run
Down the corridor down the stairs
Avoiding all save for their incredulous
stares
Lungs bursting up the street
Blood spattering from my unshod feet
I see him chasing,
Keeping pace
Over the road a familiar face
They see me coming and shut the door
My legs buckle and I drop to the floor
I roll away a pitiful sight
Who will help me with this desperate fight
A malevolent cancer only I can see
How is this so
How can this be
A shop window
A doorway
Once even the TV
Why can no one see him
When I see him
And he sees me
