Obsession

Obsession was a song that got to me reminding me of what I had gone through, the first time feelings gushed as poetry! Even though that song did not exactly describe my circumstance, some parts rang true. Obsession was a song that got to me. A rare and gorgeous butterfly was he - that dark-eyed man who into my life flew the first time feelings gushed as poetry! I fell so hard and was too blind to see the damage to my young heart he could do. Obsession was a song that got to me. I was a rose and he – a honey bee. He came on strong. From me came something new - the first time feelings gushed as poetry! Although a scoundrel he turned out to be, I love the song which still can make me blue. Obsession was a song that got to me - the first time feelings gushed as poetry! April 24, 2017 for the "Your Favorite Song Contest" of Alexis Y. Note: I cannot narrow down to a favorite song, but for the 80's decade and for the feelings the song evoked in me, Obsession is a fave!

Thanks, Glen. I love LOVE SHACK and many other 80's songs. I grew up on 60's and 70's music but all my life I have tuned to the popular music channel, so I love ALL music that sounds good to me up until today!

I don't know this song, but I have songs from my youth that remind me of similar feelings and circumstances. Good luck in the contest.

Yes, I have a few others like that. The judge wanted a poem that made us really feel, so I was stuck with this odd choice!!!

the sixties was my decade, I never heard this song, to much going on in life for me in the 80's but it seems your emotions were exploring love in the 80's..good luck

I don't think I ever really listened to the words before...no one wants to be a possession.

Keep in mind not all the words related to my situation! But parts of the song related to my feelings and also to his.

I really thank that scoundrel that made you love that song Obsession...I'm sad it still makes you blue, but happy feelings through your poetry started gushing through, lovely sweet sweet lady.
