Don’t look... Or do

At night the trees have faces that look in through my window. At night the walls watch and wait for us to be alone. At night, when I'm alone, I can feel it's presence following me. I have to turn around, I've got to make sure it's not there. I need to look behind me. But I resist because all logic and reason says that nothing will be there. But I NEED to look! But I can't, I'm scared. I NEED TO LOOK BEHIND ME. But maybe I should, maybe this is the one time there will actually be something. I NEED TO LOOK BEHIND ME. I'm too scared of really seeing something! I NEED TO LOOK BEHIND ME. Just do it so you can stop imagining it standing there. LOOK BEHIND YOU.

There's nothing there. There never is, but that doesn't reassure me. It will never make that feeling go away. I'll always be followed, if only in my head.
