The Game.

I saw you through the darkness

Did you see me in the night

Did you think you’d be alright

You looked right through me

Yet dismissed me from sight

Were you thinking

Oh no not me, oh god it couldn’t be

Saw you through the darkness

Did you see me in the night

Did you think you'd be alright

I saw you through the darkness

Did you see me in the night

Heard you scream in pain

Yet, waited just the same

Did you think

Oh no not me, oh god it couldn’t be

Saw you through the darkness

Did you see me in the night

You looked right through me

Dead in my sight.

'The Game'
Paul Bell,
Whatever your meaning I felt like this. The many fears that a person may carry they are a clue to find. The clue being 'do we hide from them, (fears) or do we turn on the light of prayer and faith in Christ. Iv'e had my share of pain, fear and the like and have some how been victorious. I needed help and I cried out to my Savior. It is no small thing to love and protected like that. I am looking forward to eterniy with Jesus the Christ....no tears, no more pain. The bible then will truly have more meaning than ever.
Bless you.
Kathy

Makes me think of a peeping tom that witnessed a murder. Creepy. I like it :)

[Paul Bell]

You've got a vivid imagination Dani. lol

[D Connolly]

haha, I don't know if that's a compliment but I'll take it, and thank-you! Maybe I've been reading too many scary stories at night :)

What is so interesting about this piece is the emotional place it draws one to -- a car crash or a love affair, it matters not. If we've lived at all, we've been both the victim and the driver.

[Paul Bell]

We sure have.

And they never knew what hit them. That's it, I'm definitely walking backwards from now on :)

Watch the potholes, they're lethal.

Chilling, dark and yet could be a metaphor, a nightmare in the realisation that she isn't interested, so she doesn't see you. Nice work Paul. Sorry its taken a while to visit your work.

[Paul Bell]

That's ok. i find on this site, the poetry revolves around for awhile.

Brings thoughts of cold, ice and darkness. Valentine

Thanks Kathie.

Be afraid, be very afraid! Sounds like a revenge plot. She ignored you and you got back at her. That scream is chilling! A scary write really, but I liked the repetition and the rhyming. Lydi**

[Paul Bell]

Thanks Lydi.

Well I hope it was attraction, based on the other comment here.

[Paul Bell]

Don't know if the sniper thinks of his prey as attractive. Up for discussion mind you. lol

[Marina]

Ah mystery solved haha

[emily.c.]

Beautiful, but chilling. I couldn't tell whether this was attraction or prey-stalking until "Heard you scream in pain".

[Paul Bell]

Thanks emcs.
