Yandere.
A love that’s not of this world, just in my head.
Near, I’ll be.
Darkness, I’ve made my stand here.
Every breath, I will hear.
Ruin your life, I shall.
Every step, I’m right there.
***
I’m watching you.
My name, you must whisper.
***
Obsessed with you.
Baby, pick me.
Sharp as a knife, love like a poison.
Every touch, every word, you slip away.
Smile, hide the truth behind your eyes.
See this through, I will.
Even will dare to leave a permanent mark on you.
Darkness is where I live.
***
Where the danger lies
In the shadows.
Twisted love no one can see,
Here, I’ll be; we’re meant to be.
***
Yandere.
Obsessed with you.
Unable to stop.

Yandere: a Japanese term, meaning "crazy love," describing a character, typically female, who displays an obsessive and violent form of devotion to a love interest. They often seem harmless initially but can become incredibly possessive and even resort to dangerous actions to keep their love interest from others. They will go as far as killing those potential threats or even the object of their affection themselves.
Love, Google

I Googled Yandere before reading your poem and it helped me understand it better. I feel like this is me, lol
