Affliction of affection (squal to 'I don't love you')
By ReflectingGod
23 August 2008
Any day now, this will stop.

I don't say anything.
Haven't you guessed?
I do not care for you.
My cold shoulder is not hard to get.

I believe I said this all before.
Will you ever learn?
No matter how hard you try.
I will never return your advances.

I know you watch me, observe me.
Haven't you heard?
Your a stalker, a disgusting creature.
Do I have to spell it out?

I am not giving you the satisfaction.
I've stand my ground and I will continue.
No matter how you try to frighten me.
Or touch me.

I should of called the police.
The biggest mistake was letting this continue.
You could stalk anybody, why me?
I stood up for you...

That doesn't mean I have to keep looking over my shoulder.
Get a clue, No just get away.
Haven't you heard?
I don't love you.

I'll never will.

Hello ReflectingGod, 
 
I do hope this isn't autobiographical! It certainly has sinister undertones. You've captured the feeling of fear very well without actually naming it and the sense of constant pestering and rejection is clear and frightening. 
 
You highlight how one small act of kindness: 
 
"I stood up for you. . ." 
 
can give a wrong impression, to someone inclined to obsession. 
 
A powerful and disturbing write! Excellent,

The sad note is that it is... 
Thank you very much for review.

. . . is strong. But, commenting on the poem (not you yourself) there are five glaring typos - they really detract from the piece for me I'm afraid. 
 
Check it through . . .  
 
Cheers! 
 
John
