Obsession

Call you late and the phone's off.
If you're not alone I'll just die.
Pictures of you fill the wall space.
Pictures of you unaware.
Follow you home when your day's done.
Watch from the rain, your world's dry.
My only thoughts are about you.
Letters and cards they enthrone you;
letters and cards thrown away.

When we first met my words failed me.
Touching you once left me blind.
I smell your perfume, my heart quickens.
I turn in the crowd, you're not there.
Sleep makes you mine, although dreaming.
I wake...It's all been a lie.
I hold in my hand what was once yours:
A piece of your life you discarded.
A piece of your life becomes mine.

And how can I let you go when I can't let you know?
I breathe and feel you inside me although you've denied me.
And I will hold you or hurt you; if not, I assure you
that I will be the last thing you will see.

never in my mind could I've known pain that you could feel being all alone gotta make you mine or you will belong to no one looking through the blinds to see you you're looking back at me can't be true gotta get away which way now bright lights cut night air gonna do you now can't lose face better you were gone than we disgraced you beat me to the draw...am I dead? life blood slips away

And how can you let me go now that you know?
Can't breathe. Your blade's deep inside me,
you've judged and you've tried me.
And I can't hold you, can't hurt you, and now I assure you
that you will be the last thing that I will see.
