Analysis of Obsession

SCARLETT HUMPHREYS 1989 (enfield)



You took a part of my heart,
when you touched my soul,
You let me in, I fell, I lost control.
A million words unsaid, forbidden dreams.
My mind in pieces, ripped from its seams.
Is this real or fantasy?
A love story or dark obsession?
Could you have been my everything or lead me to regression...
My heads filled with uncertainties,
Trapped behind a smiling face. No real end but no known future,
No escaping from this place.
Missing you is torture,
A thousand thoughts plague my fragile mind.
I miss your smile, your touch, your smell, your taste...
I miss having you as mine.
I know I need to be patient,
One day I will see...
Have faith that hazy thoughts will clear,
If its meant to be it will be....
For now I'll have to be content to only love you from afar...
Try to put thoughts of you aside and accept things as they are.
