BLACK AS NIGHT

Dark as death,
Black as the night,
The evil one has come
For me tonight.

My heart pounds a beat.
He sees me and more.
He walks the dark street.
At night he’s the lore.

I cannot run.
I cannot even hide.
He knows my secrets.
He knows where I hide.

The roses are wilting.
They crumble​ in despair.
Their faces are tilting
Only black as they tear.

He has no footsteps.
He walks with the winds.
His body whispers past me.
Soft in the trade winds​.
​
He takes me in flight,
Up to the laughing moon.
I can’t see his face.
I’ll be his all too soon.

I close my eyes in defeat.
His cold lips crush mine.
I search for a way to retreat.
I search for a sign.​

You seem to be having a devilish time with this DEAD GAME series. Apparently this stalker of yours "knows all your secrets." So you have something terrible that you're hiding from everyone that is known by "him," and he is using it to blackmail you into his black domain.

Reads like masochism as though you want to be punished.

Beautifully rendered if dark and mysterious. Surely there is some light at the end of the tunnel, perhaps that will be in another poem.
