Everyday you stalk me

[Achebe]

I didn't even notice the similarities between end and friends. Thanks for pointing that out. =) However, I think if you read the poem out loud it works out, as end and friends is not really a rhyme. It would be a rhyme if it was friend instead of friends, but there are some similar sounds and visual repetition there. I'll think about the ending a bit more. Thanks for the input.

Not a perfect rhyme, but a strong slant rhyme. My apologies if I was unclear.
