Obsession

Location

Obsession does not care if you bleed:

Internally

Eternally.

 

Obsession only needs to feed:

Eternally

Internally.

 

Eat the brain first.

You don’t need to think.

Only to have.

Always to have and to hold.

For as long as you both shall live.

 

Gobble the eyes second.

You don’t need to see.

“Love is blind.”

Love is beautiful.

Disaster is ugly.

 

Bite off the hands.

You don’t need fingers

To manipulate.

Clay may be hard.

Their heart is pliable.

 

Nibble up the arms.

You won’t need to embrace

To keep that someone close.

If at first you don’t succeed.

Try, try, again and again.

 

Chew on the lips.

You don’t need to smile.

There is no happy ending.

Hate is stronger than love,

But Fear devours all.

 

Slowly slice and peel away the Heart.

Time flies when you are having fun.

Buzz buzz.

Circling, landing,

Never letting go.

Today, Tomorrow, Forever.

 

Obsession does not care if you bleed:

Internally

Eternally.

 

Obsession only needs to feed:

Eternally

Internally.
