Thoughts On a Stalker

It started out small A slight blown out of proportion Had the parties involved known That the intended was not quite right Perhaps the reins would have been pulled But it snowballed and grew disproportionately The woman's mania roiled and boiled past boundaries One stalked person became two, four, now nearly a dozen Anyone who holds a common interest or speaks in a similar manner Is tacked on to the malicious story within the woman's sick, twisted mind For those innocently pulled into the sticky venus trap contrived My sadness for their harassment seems so very endless Perhaps her illness will be seen and treated Before the woman's mind snaps And people are hurt
