Wanting And Waiting

A shadowy figure lurks near
A silent visitor!
A messenger of fear
Sending shivers up my spine
It's clear, I fear
It's wanting and waiting
For someone here

I hear its rhythmic breath
That measured sound
Of approaching death
And I am alerted of its quest
It is clear, I fear
It's wanting and waiting
For someone here

It's wanting and waiting
for someone here,
But wanting and waiting for who?
For me, or for you?

Getting accustomed to it near
To its powerful presence!
No longer do I cringe in fear
It's now a welcomed guest!
I entertain this new friend dear
While it's wanting and waiting
For someone here

Maybe I'm just a little crazy
But I do enjoy its company!
I appreciate its mystery
And its morbid curiousity
Strangely, I don't mind the fact
That...it's wanting and waiting
Just for me!

Oh dear! Now I fear,
It could be true
That it's wanting and waiting,
Just for you!

Reminds me of my latest posting, "Dark Man." I feel this "it" that you express so well because I have met "it."
