By your side is where I belong
Laying in this bed I can’t help
But glance at your body beside mine
Completely still except your soft breaths
Your lips soft and inviting
Your skin slightly flushed
Like every night before this one
And every night to come
I lay here silently
Only to be gone in the morning
Do you notice my absence?
Do you secretly enjoy my presence?
It kills me to leave as the sun rises outside
I steal one last glance
And sneak back into your attic
Till tomorrow my love
About “By Your Side”:
Well’s it’s officially October and that means it’s spooky season. To usher it in correctly, I had to share this poem. And expect more poems and stories with horror/thriller vibes.
With this poem in particular, I wanted it to have a lovey-dovey vibe at the start that turns into oh no it’s a stalker vibe. If you’ve read other poems and stories by me, you know I do like my surprise twist endings and this poem was no exception. I don’t know why but those are always so much fun to write.
Anyway, that is all. Thank you so much for reading and I hope you enjoyed the poem!
What did you think of the poem? Did the ending catch you by surprise? Let me know in the comments below because I would absolutely love to hear from you or simply stop by and say hi!
