Obsession

I can no longer think, eat or sleep Even my thoughts seem to stutter Captivated by your radiant smile And by every word that you utter I'm trapped by my wishful thinking Wishing you will someday be mine I see visions of happy endings That were formed from Heaven's design My love for you has become malignant Growing stronger each waking day I no longer have a sense of direction Your perfection causes my reason to stray The person I was has somehow vanished Tomorrow's become where ever you lead My wants and desires have all disappeared And filled with this thing that I need I'm lost in a world that no longer matters And this is my heart's true confession I'm not me and you're no longer you You're simply my heart's obsession

I like the essence of this poem and the tone of the words. The title certainly flows thorough out the poem. The ending line is wonderful and closes the loop. Great job! Joseph
