"Darling" Inspired by Watching from the Dark:

on

Darling

My darling startles

then smiles,

laughing that I surprised her

when I came around the corner.


My darling startles

then frowns,

confused that I surprised her

next to her car at Smith’s.


My darling startles

then freezes,

peering into the shadows

where I know she can’t see me.


My darling startles

then screams,

no longer appreciating

my surprises.
