I wrote this short one for a guy that swore he feel in love with me the first time he saw me (he embarrassed me in a meeting). Stalked me for 2 weeks (via phone).  So very creepy..

You Don't know Me

Don’t look my way
If it’s not the person you see
Don’t touch me
Unless you know what my favorite color would be
Don’t try to talk, on any day
If you can’t hear what I say
Don’t tell me how good I look
If you’re only judging the cover of the book
The outside is not all I am
So if that is all you can see
Just walk away from me

You make your point well!
It must be really spooky to be stalked.
