Creep

I saw a stranger, 
He smiled, I smiled too,
     Though he is gone,
     His shadow lingers on.
Now, wherever I go,
I know, he is around,
     Ever since he came,
     Things are not the same.
     He is a stalker, a creep,
     Haunts me in my sleep.

Why is he everywhere?
With unwanted smile,
     Can't predict his mind,
     While he walks behind.
Why is he so awful?
Watching what I do,
     I can't take this fear,
     Want him to disappear.
     He is a stalker, a creep,
     Haunts me in my sleep.

Though I tried to forget,
He resides in my head,
     But I shall stay strong, 
     And prove him wrong.
With my angry heart,
I looked in his eyes,
     Shocked and surprised,
     It was my lover in disguise.
     He is not a stalker, a creep,
     I put my fears to sleep.
