Love Obsession

LOVE OBSESSION

You are an inspiration
For my heart
You have a captivation
In your eyes
Who’s that creepin’ by your window ?
Who’s that with an ear at your door ?
Is it love obsession ? Is it love obsession ?
Is it love obsession or is it me ?

You’ve got a smile that lights up
The night sky.
With a personality
Brighter still.
Who’s that sneekin’ by your doorway ?
Who’s that caught with a phony disguise ?
Is it love obsession ? Is it love obsession ?
Is it love obsession or is it me ?

I’m out of my mind and soul
With lustful passion.
I’ve got a need for something
I can’t have
Who’s that hiding in the shadows again ?
Who’s that trying to get a glimpse of your face ?
Is it love obsession ? Is it love obsession ?
Is it love obsession or is it me ?

Thanks Faraz for your lovely comments; its not easy to come to grips with personal demons, to see yourself the way others may perceive you. Namaste.

Was that question ever answered? I found this to be an interesting poem. Did the creep ever leave? I like this poem.

No Darlene, the creep resides in all of us but mostly stays hidden; the answer to the other question is ME. Thanks for liking and commenting.

Hi, my name is Olivia. I am a student doing an english project that includes your poem and I need information regarding you. If you are willing to share it with me, I would like to know when you were born, what your current occupation is, and why you wrote this poem. Thank you so much.

Hi Olivia, I'm honoured that you chose one of my poems for your English project. I was born in 1953 in London, Canada and have been writing poetry, short stories and essays for 50 years. This poem is about loving someone so much it becomes an obsession and the 'creep' comes out. Currently I am the paint pro at Home Depot.

You see Capitano, your things can be addictive and killing softly! You are a story!

Indeed Solomon, love can be addictive and like all addictions, it can kill. Nice to hear from you and thanks for commenting.

Hi Phil, Methinks at times that love and obsession can, may, and do go hand-in-hand. And I shan't forget as well the lustful passion part. This write is "Obsessive For Sure"!! Enjoyed it. Great Write!! Cheers, Gary
