Obsession

When there is only one way to get rid of a torturing addiction.

Always at the back of my head

and of my mind

You revolve around me when I seek safety

And loneliness

I walk around in these empty streets

Filled with people I will never know

And every face I do not see is yours

Your presence is overwhelming

I cannot breathe

But you are all I will ever know

Show me the way to be myself again

Without you

In one first and last embrace

Let us give in.

a sad but beautiful write nonetheless! A past love like a ghost still has a hold on you that protected you, comes to mind

oh, the incessant need to see their face and know them once more. I am acquainted with feeling very well. The pain is clear in every line. Wonderful write. Thank you for sharing.
