Obsession

Obsession
by John Trent

Anxiously waiting, heart’s dilemma
Fighting, screaming, it will not end!
Mind races, incessant chatter
In madness I descend!

My soul is broke, pieces shattered
Fearing, hurting, my anxiety builds!
Reality's gone, insanity wakes
In madness I’m fulfilled!

My vision cloaked, thoughts clouded

Suffering, crying, I accept my fate!
Loathing desire, desperate I weep
In madness I have to wait!

The deed is done, guilt seeps in

Aching, falling, emotions released
Reality returns, the calming begins
For now, the madness has ceased
