eyes locked lucidly
finger-knotted grins
carefully imagined
spiritually deceited
blended in with scenery
camouflaged underneath
the burning stars
patter;
r u s h i n g;
filling in the empty spaces
visualising bare flesh places
to draw the blood
seizing,
delusions l-i-n-k-i-n-g

thinking.
frozen;
footsteps;
fear's fingers poke and prod
flesh crawling,
thoughts... free falling.
adrenalin pumps
with every beat,
feet can't keep the pace
pulses race.
terror turns the corner,
panic possesse's insecurities breath
casually feasting on the fright,
streetlight blinking back the darkness,
senses heightened to the point of foresight.
passerby to shadows
the evening enveloping sweat
the pale flesh lingering
reflecting from my eyes
chaotic massacre
the kind I delicately fondle
closing sections between us
the wait -
it lasts forever
until the air circulation
between us
stops

Adding your comment:
I normally don't like poems that are too dark, but if they are as well-written as this one, I can't possibly mind. I think the words you used are really strong; they make the poem very vivid and interesting. I like all your descriptions... there are so many unique phrases in here. I also think your ending is really good: "it lasts forever
