If I...

If I, in all my pathetic glory, were born a princess...
You would become my shining knight.
Strong and handsome, ravaging my mind and heart,
I would grant you anything, everything, and more,
Handing over my world dipped in gold and wrapped in diamonds.

If I, set adrift in a madman's dream, were deemed an angel...
You would dwell as my only god.
My creation existing exclusively for your pleasure.
Soft lips that desired the taste of yours alone
Worshiping you forever and ever.

If I, aimless in this unrealistic reality, were everlastingly perfect...
It would be all your fault, due to your own making
And you would have to love me for eternity.
You would forget everyone and everything
I would wonder through your dreams and on to your soul.

If I, crying at rainbows and laughing at thunder, were something...
Something important, something special, something wonderful...
I could quit stringing these trivial words of love.
You would just know the depth, the strength, the intensity...
And how you've become my obsession.

I like the piece it is well done But with that said I did feel that being an Angel to a mad man sounded a little carried away to me. Still it was a good write.

Love and obsession. They can become so entangeled. Obsession borders on being prone to spy, and stalk, record conversations. Very fine line. Great piece. Rain..

Oh I love this so much. The line between love and obsession. I loved how you conveyed this feeling and the depths in which you captured the scenes that play in my mind so vivid and captivating. I really loved this and it will be going into my favorites.

Very beautiful writing. Had me in from the first line.

If I, aimless in this unrealistic reality, were everlastingly perfect...
It would be all your fault... of your own making
And you would have to love me for eternity
You would forget everyone and everything
