The Slithering Stalker

It started with a small sentence
Picked up by one who demanded repentance
Innocuously sent and meant for so few
With the one the ignominy simply festered and grew

None could tell the one was so horrid
That its zealotry and hatred could be that torrid
The one crept and slithered to so many places
Connecting perceived illusions to different faces

"Prophetess!" and "discernment!" the one kept spouting
All the while "go" was all we were shouting
"They lie!" and "sinner!" the one spewed and droned
"Obsessive stalker" over twenty affected loudly bemoaned

After all is said let this be learned
Retalitory obsession most certainly will be returned
The whispers and taunts are so often malicious
But the one shall always be found vile and vicious

Sara, yes a bit. I felt the need to put something down regarding some stalking I've dealt with for 2 years. Fortunately, that stalker has (for the most part) faded into the background. Thanks for reading!
