Analysis of Obsessively
It's been a struggle
trying to live this life
Trapped in reality
fighting the good fight
From the moment I meet you
You will stay the one I want
Always in my dreams
Always in my thoughts
Pulling at my soul
and tugging at my heart
Engulfing my imagination
and tantalizing my inner parts
At times the thought of you in my arms
Sends my mind in a rage
Burns a hole in my being
but yet traps my heart in a cage
No matter where I turn
Visions of your face I clearly see
Playing tricks on my mental
Tutting me with a love
that will never be
But the desire that I cling to
Won't allow me to breath free
It suffocates my life
And utterly consumes me.
