A Book of Poems

You ask me out

I accept , not wanting to hurt you

Then the messages start

First every hour

Then half hour

Then 15,10,5 minutes

I start getting paranoid

Terrified , petrified

Wondering where you are every second

If you can see me

Are you watching me ?

Leaving the house becomes a chore

One that I start to abhor

I feel like I'm being watched

I look over my shoulder as I walk

Scared to see your face

Every shadow I see makes me jump

Every noise , every sound

I want you to leave , get out of my life

Forget me , leave me

You are stuck to me like a leech

Taking the life out of me , eating away at me

I hide and cower in fear , praying you will go away

I hope one day I'll just slip your mind, that you will leave me behind

In the back of my mind , I know it's too good to be true

That you will just forget

I regret meeting you , talking to you

I have never wished that I never met someone harder

Every night I hope you will fall through a hole in the Earth

Never to return

I wake up in cold sweat, screaming,panting

I convince myself it's just a dream , go back to sleep

But I can feel you staring through my window, watching me
