First impressions of this caused me to question the structure. It isn't very well thought out, it almost seems ignored in your haste to deepen the theme of a psychopath. My eyes were at once met with a wall of text, without correct punctuation, full stops and commas.
Don't think that these details aren't important, because they are. Just look at the difference in the flow now that I've re-worked the first few lines:
I move quickly behind you ‘till I trip over garbage on the pavement,
you turn around and see nothing though I’m in the darkness.
I start to move more casually as I lovingly observe you,
you glance back nervously, unappreciatively.
I've un-capitalized a few first letters, and added commas. Although the short sharp sentences you use in this piece are good, you over use them. Sharp sentences only remain full of energy if you put them in sparingly.
The theme is good, however it is a little tired in some places. When creating tensions, I would try and cut description to a minimum. But I think your poetic voice is detached and un-caring. So well done on that score.
Overall, I think the theme is good, but the structure could use some work.
Luck,
