My sweet obsession
Here inside my heart
Every day reminding
Of something I can't have
Ne'er comfort I am finding
Cruel to be obsessed
The switch not in my hand
The demon has possessed
The torment, I can't stand
I wish it wasn't there
Yet it is tattooed on
In time will its ink wear
and wretched ache be gone?
It finds no happy form
That sits there quietly
Instead it has me torn
Obsession, let me be!
I feel sadness spilling from this poem. Unrequited somethings are nasty things [3 A beautiful write from a beautiful girl xx Hi Red: -)
Your Sweet Obsession has lead you to give us a good poem.The lines -I wish it wasn't there /Yet it is tattooed on/ In time will its ink wear /and wretched ache be gone? -captured my heart! Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!
Cruel to be obsessed Instead it has me torn Those are my fav lines. You've described it well. This sweet obsession.
i think every poem on your page shows the next page of your life and so far i enjoyed it so much but i guess i don't like the sad part but each word makes a incredible story just like you
Obsessions are indeed difficult to relinquish, the trick is to replace it with something less demanding. Good one Stevie.

Unrequited obsession. Terrible thing. But it does lend itself to poetry. Hope it's a nice work of the imagination,
