A Lovers Image

You know what they say about addicts.

I wonder what’s in your eyes

Why do you smile?

I wonder if you see butterflies appear around the heads of lovers

And if higher authority looks like a Death Eater

Or a Pixie

Are you just as afraid as I am?

What do you see when you couldn't care less?

Do you see everyone as I do

Black and gray  

Are you just as colorblind?

I wonder why you love to watch

Do you imagine me in a blanket of white

Like I imagine you

       But you take pleasure in the darkness

(While I run)

I wonder why you write

Do you want to escape

Like I do

Do you feel your soul drift away

Like I do

Do you hear them in your head

Like I do

Do you want it all to stop

Like I do

What’s in your eyes?

[Andrew Leister-Frazier]

How do you benefit from thinking about this person like this? What makes this person so special to you? This is not a healthy expression of love. When I read this I see obsession.

Its not love!!! You are completely right, which is why I want it all my thoughts to stop!
