The Stalker's Lament
By tabarejos
23 January 2007
In the hours when I appreciated my self tghe most I wrote this...

        I stare at you but
        From afar
        For I cannot show
        You my tears.
        I sing to you but
        From afar
        For my song plays
        And dies on
        Prejudiced ears.
        I worship you but
        From afar
        For I can't go
        Against what the
        World expects.
        I love you but
        From afar
        For that's what
        You allow.

An interesting point of view. Though considering that, the passion and obsession don't realy come across. It all sounds too rational and accepting. 
If it was about a disappointed secret admirer that'd be fine, but considering the title, your narrator is much more than just that.

I agree with Fledermaus - I think that this suits the thoughts of a secret admirer rather than a stalker. 
 
I did find it an interesting read however. I liked 
 
For my song plays  
And dies on  
Prejudiced ears 
 
I think that this could maybe be tidied up a little - I dont think you need as many line breaks, for example the first four lined could be condensed to two: 
 
I stare at you but from afar 
For I cannot show you my tears. 
 
Best wishes,

ok - don't know what the 'null' is all about at the end there, sorry!
