And many have done it before. Outside, where you're surrounded by people you don't know. Someone is looking at you, staring, watching every move you make. While you're unaware of that someone glamorizing your body, your face, the way you brush your hair, and the subtle nuances of your expressions. Everything
About
You.
Someone has done this to you before
Without you even knowing.
That they're stripping you naked with their seething eyes. And when you feel that someone's gazing at you. It's said to be primal. When we were being watched in ancient times, when we were being hunted, when we were the prey, we could detect a predator's gaze, the bloodlust, the desire.
That's why you're going to look for me. Disconcerted by my lingering sight, you'll be looking, looking, colder, warmer, colder again. I'm right behind you. Pay more attention. Read my mind. Oh, you can't. Although I wish for you to Look at me, Look at me, you won't find me. Because even if you do find me, my head is already turned, passively, unsuspiciously waiting for you to lower your guard again.
Now you'll think, it might be just you. Your imagination. But once you avert your eyes away, I'll continue feasting - fantasizing about you, x-raying your clothes, waiting for you on the corner of the alley, kidnapping you, and having you all mine, mine, in a dark abandoned hardware.
Trust your gut, it's almost always right. But I won't do those things to you. Having you feel me is enough. Hence, I'll only watch you here in public, where I can take the crowd to my advantage.
And when you think you're alone, or worse when you think you're safe. Locked doors, closed windows, nestled in your bedroom. Strangely, you'll still feel it through a little crack, through your mirrors, through someone's eyes. I'm still here.
Anyone is allowed to do this to you, not just me, because of the boundaries of our minds. You'll never know what other people around you are thinking. So beware. Be Careful. They're after you. Whether they admire you from afar or plan to desecrate you. Anyone can do it without you knowing.
And thankfully no one has gone too far to do it yet.
Yet.
