This is a poem from my Slender Man poetry collection, called Into Night. If you like my work on here, please consider getting the book on amazon.com. This poem is in pantoum form, which circulates the lines throughout the poem, but puts them in slightly different contexts each time. It's about how Slender Man has always been watching the main characters.
In The Background
We were never truly safe,
For that thin and anguished waif
He was always there in the background
Waiting patiently to surround
For that thin and anguished waif
We were helpless easy prey
Waiting patiently to surround
It was only a matter of time
We were helpless easy prey
On a path of black leaves
It was only a matter of time
Do you see out in the distance?
On a path of black leaves
We were never truly safe
Do you see out in the distance?
He was always there in the background
