Black Love

Black Love I can't see you but I know that you're there Every time I turn around i can feel your eyes I don't know when i don't know how your love turned into something wrong obsession the footsteps I hear behind me aren't just in my head the warnings to stay away you're not listening are you? I'm afraid to know what's going on inside that head of yours inside that heart of yours I didn't know that obsession was a feeling of deep within the heart I don't know when I don't know how your love turned wrong obsession The shadows outside my window whispers in the wind the lights shining in my room at night the cries on my window sill the exta pleas and "Please add Me" on my social networks and threats to my new friends and slashes in my tire treads when I say "no" I don't know when I don't know how your love turned wrong obsession stalking obsession black love

Heavy. "Black Love" might be a bit misleading, or racially charged. Maybe "Dark Love" would be better and fit the context more.
