Obsession

I love this rhetoric
The rhetoric of desire
That makes me go on and on
About one person like she's my whole 

I love how it's all I think about
It's what I obsess over when I write
That's why I keep writing hoping to get better
Cause I want to be all the way up where I'm seen with her 

I love how it's like a battle
For one to win one needs to have conceded 
Cause if we all fighting for the prize
We'd only lose ourselves while doing so 

I love this illusion
That I sell to myself,
everytime I look in the mirror
Thinking that I'll never be dropped
