To the One who truly knows

Three, no we'd been already passed that
Yet this unwanted misery is where I'm at

The sun shouldn't have risen up so high
I wanted to stay in darkness til the end is nigh

Sadly it took no effort to reach out for your hand
When I felt helpless, slowly sinking in the sand

What had made me hold on to you so tight?
Why did I cling on with all my might?

Now it seems foolish I insisted to feel
One can't even dare claim this is for real

As I incessantly try to kill this love I have inside
The stain of residual memories would not subside

The pain of it all grew into an obsession
Naive to think it would end with my confession

Each day I've thought to stay away
To stop this need to stay in touch everyday

Can it only end on the day I choose to die?
Under this beautiful clear blue sky

Very strong and truthful words that speak of the power of obsession. It is eye opening and written nicely and to the point. Thank you for sharing your poem.
