Fatal Obsession
She knows everyone who is in his cellphone
contact lists.
She knows where he goes to hang out
with friends on Thursdays
and Saturdays.
She hates seeing any female friends around
him, except for his family.
She "falls sick" whenever he plans
to visit his parents.
Sometimes she forces herself on him,
and tears his shirts with her nails,
if he refuses to make love to her -
if he does, he gets bites on his shoulders,
and scratches on his back.
There is a gun hidden in her purse;
if he decides to leave her one day,
she plans to shoot him,
then shoot herself.
"If I love you, I can kill you,"
she always warned him,
since the first time they met
in a Chinese restaurant.
Her seductive voice made him lustful,
rather than heeding her warning to stay away from her.....
