Stalker
The curtain was drawn, when she tried to leave
The compelling words he said, started the play
“I will not allow it”, he did say
His words were what he meant that day
He stalked her thereafter, so she could not have a life
He even rigged a TV to blow up on her
He sent people to follow her to always watch
He would not allow anyone to have her
Calculating his every move, day by day
Due to this, he landed in jail for some time
Even then, stalking her with the phone
Sending someone he knew to disrupt her life more
Until, she literally had to move
He was obsessed with having things in order
An x-marine with guns and a rigid routine
She had become another item of his obsession
No longer a person, running for her life
Cops told her she needed to buy a gun
Upon his release, she always kept watch
To look over her shoulder, as to when …
He may show up one future day
When she would have to pursue justice
All over again, just to stay alive
To escape the play in his book ….
--- That would not end ---
