Obsessions
Long standing passions fading into obsessions deep and dark
Taking its tolls to possess your soul they leave their mark
After much strife little things appear bigger than life
And life fades without a fight
When confronted with obsessions deep and dark
The rains come clean and pure
To cleanse the passions and soothe the soul
Till nothing remains to heal the marks
Of bewitching obsessions possessive and dark
One step wrong and all is lost
Gone are the sunny days of memories past
Your soul is mine so don’t look for me
For I am gone into obsessions dreary and dark
But be aware I am not the only one
All are equal and all are prey
Hidden behind that ray of sun obsessions remain
When all else is done the darkness comes unbidden
Then you are the only one left with obsessions hidden
