Freaked Me Out

ping… ping… who’s there?

I feel eyes through electric air…

somewhere close but far away,

you found me — and I didn’t say…

(whisper: don’t… don’t… don’t…)

You said “look in your game” — I froze,

a shadow moved where I didn’t suppose.

Standing there, just out of reach,

how did you know where I would be?

(whisper echo: how did you know… how did you know…)

I scroll away, pretend it’s fine,

your signal cuts, crosses the line.

Every ping, a breath too near,

I taste your presence, cold and clear.

(whisper: too close… too close…)

You freaked me out — I can’t explain,

your shadow crawled through my domain.

Didn’t ask, but you still came —

a glitch that whispers out my name.

(whisper echo: freaked me out… freaked me out…)

Screenshots, tags, tracing my face,

numbers and pings invade my space.

Six hours apart — you say “not bad,”

smiling like we’re something we never had.

(whisper: stranger… stranger…)

Profiles blur, your words replay,

I log off — but you still stay.

Can’t unsee what you became,

a ghost breathing through my game.

(whisper echo: stay away… stay away…)

You freaked me out — I can’t explain,

your shadow crawled through my domain.

Didn’t ask, but you still came —

a glitch that whispers out my name.

(whisper echo: freaked me out… freaked me out…)

You said goodnight like we were friends,

my pulse screamed this should end.

Screens flicker, silence loud,

you’re everywhere — I can’t shut you out.

(whisper: get out… get out… get out…)

You freaked me out — I pulled the plug,

but your echo hums, won’t unplug.

Every ping feels like your touch,

fading… but never enough.

(whisper echo: not enough… not enough…)
