Obsession

Love is addictive

 I woke this morning wanting you

Obsessed with wanting you

tied to my heart

How am I to be free of you

 

You came into my life

but did not tell me the price

I would pay

obsessed by my needing of you

 

Each time my mind whispers your name

my soul smolders in its wanting of you

my heart pounds uncontrolled when

the thought of you comes to me

 

The hands that would write

of my addiction

are on fire unable to hold my pen

the paper scorched from the heat

 

You did not tell me our first kiss

would addict me to you…

like a poison your kiss infected

my very being

 

Standing in the hot shower

waiting for the water

to wash your bond away

take this obsession from me

 

Free me from this poison

take it from me

let me breath again

let me know life without you

 

This love has left me twisted and tied to you

in human bondage, alone and joined

addicted unable to let go

pulled deeper each day into you

 

Obsessed by my love for you

what good would I be without you

withering and dying

needing the very poison that keeps me

 

Obsessed by your love

Held in human bondage

For all time

Don’t take your poison from me

 

Take my smoldering soul

Twist my heart

Let my fingers burn

in their wanting to touch you

 

Do not take your love from me

let me have my obsession

let the poison remain

bind me to you for an eternity
