Never alone

Eyes are staring at my back

I can feel them but not look back

Feeling its shadow all the time

Yet disappears when I feel it is too near

No matter where I go, I cannot escape

Never seen but I know it’s there

Its presence follows me everywhere

Even if I attempt to look, nothing is around me

Still, I cannot shake its presence from my mind

It is nowhere to find a special kind

Still the chill is felt everywhere

In the room and in the chair

Only if it goes away

Yet it trails with no avail

Where will I get my rest with it now

What will stop it now
