Obsession
I know obsession.
The feeling of clinging on so
desperately
to someone who may not even exist.
The countless hours of imagining them coming and
sweeping
you off your feet into a
perfect ending.
I know obsession.
The drive to defend the thing
you love so much it’s almost hate.
The time spent working to be the amazing thing
everyone seems to expect.
I know obsession.
The joy of the words I just
can’t get enough of.
Always finding something more.
The seconds that don’t matter,
because I’m so wrapped up in
someone else’s world.
I know obsession.
It’s taken over my whole life.
