OBSESSION

I can’t stop repeating 
The playbook in my head
I can’t shake this feeling
Or forget what you had said.

A loop in constant motion 
Has a life….all of it’s own
Feeding on the heartache 
My pain has found a home. 

Running, keeping busy
Anything to just forget 
The memories that plague me
Stuck deep inside my head. 

Fixated, still obsessing
Trapped inside this hollow shell
Spinning round, around and around
Till I’m not feeling well. 

Nothing but the memories
A distortion of the truth 
Appearances and nuances
Of another …. younger you! 

An empty, cold obsession 
Doesn’t take me anywhere
Holds me back from happiness
Leaves me lost and feeling scared.
