Obsession: A Poem
Obsession
You give inspiration,
You cause me pain,
With you shines the sun,
Without you falls the rain.
You don’t notice
How long I stare,
You don’t give a damn
How much I care,
‘coz my desire for you,
Is like a flare,
it’s way too much
than I can bear.
The fault is mine,
I hoped too much,
I just wish time
Gives its healing touch,
To the wounds and scars
With depths that haunts,
That serves as reminders,
Not to succumb to love’s taunts,
So gullibly like I did,
The moment I knew you,
I thought you could be “it”,
After heartbreaks I’ve gone thru.
Now look what you’ve done,
You’ve rendered me a fool.
I’m losing concentration
I can’t keep my cool
Food feeling tasteless
Days enveloped in gloom,
Long gone is my smile
Depression making me blue,
I feel so pathetic
I don’t know what to do
I’m overly obsessed
All I think of is you.
I laugh, I cry,
Deep inside I die,
I feel like my life
Is one big lie
I pretend that I
Am someone I’m not
Masquerading a mask
Concealing my thoughts
Honestly tell me
Would you even spare
A seconds worth
Living my despair?
Though you’ll never know,
Though you’re taken,
I’ll cherish our friendship,
I’ll deny my infatuation.
The obsessed one,
A friend..
