Always Watching

They say the blind use their hands to see

If only I could be so lucky

To use the hands' warm caress in place of the eye's cold stare

To have these hands brush across pink lips and move through soft hair

Oh, if only I could have these hands always on your face

Were I blind, would you let these fingers take my eye's place?

Or would you ignore me like you do every night?

But I don't mind, after all, there are advantages to being out of sight

It's much easier to take my pictures when you don't know I'm there

So very easy to creep ever closer, even steal a lock of hair

And when the night has long since fallen

Again, I will indulge in my beautiful sin

Finally my hands can roam the form so well-traveled by my eyes

Feel the curves that I had long ago memorized

It's almost perfect, but still at every sigh or sound I freeze

Careful not move, careful not to breathe

Luckily you never completely wake

Your sleeping body remains mine to take

All through the night, my hands enjoy their special treat

Unfortunately, the rising sun signals my retreat

But don't fear, I won't leave you alone

I always take care of things I consider my own

You looked so sad and defeated last night

I know that you and your "boyfriend" had a fight

But don't worry, he can't hurt you any more

I made sure of that when I cut out his heart and left it on the bleeding on the floor

I've watched you so long that I just had to send you this letter

Now that you know I’m always there for you, don't you feel all better?



With eternal love and so much more,
Your Ever-Watching, Ever-loving Protector



The "Protector" watched through the window as his love fainted horror

Smiling, he slipped in silently through the back door

As he lifted her up and carried her away

He felt his hands twitch, wanting to play

But he ignored them and made sure to bind her tightly

Not wanting to deal with another escapee

She was tightly secured and unable to flee by the time he was done

Now he sits, waiting patiently for her to wake so he can his fun
