Hey Hurst,
The line "I wonder if people will miss you," is actually the feeling I had hoped for as I was reading because of how the poem is laid out with the narrator telling a story of seduction and danger. It's a pointless warning that the narrator is giving and "I wonder if people will miss you" gives it that final push and it makes the pointless warning seem inevitable. I would build the last stanza around just that one line.
