Obsession
one moment of bliss
striving for unattainability
a single spark of reminiscence
struck by candlelight
utterly visible by the twilight
desiring nothing but the intimate
struggling to piece together all that went amiss
an endless state of wondering
pondering on what could have been
and how i can transform her hate
into a warm fantasy
clinging onto rose-tinted memories
i welcome the endless abyss with open arms
moving forward will do nothing for me
as i am a shell of a being without the past
unfurling my tears like a mast
longing for the uproar of sickening fate
as this infatuation is all that is left of me now
while i dream of her sudden interest in my presence
she has found a rebound man, a last minute plea
as my closest friend wishes to be rid of her piercing glare
i find comfort in the unnerving game that is played everyday
further into insanity i fall
willingly entrapped into her snare
deepening my already rooted obsession
and contradictorily wishing for love to not exist as such a burden

Hello, and my name’s Marceline! This poem was inspired by my ex-girlfriend and the heartbreak I went through after our breakup. I was extremely attached to her even after our relationship ended, and continue to struggle with my unhealthy feelings toward her even today. Hope you enjoy reading it!
