Obsession Revisited

Now you’re quiescent,

Each time threatening to rearm later

Maliciously you blackmail me

Promising to become greater

It’s a slow poison; killing me ever so slow

Yet without you, I think I’m incomplete.

You are unwanted, but it’s you that I need.

You have grown, now you grow more and flow

In my soul you have made your abode

Don’t let me live in peace, or even without.

You are the vampire, who thirsts for my soul

You are the venom, which spreads in my whole.

You make me writhe, you tease and taunt

Insolence: your word – by which you swear

You stir up a storm inside me

Your power is of no measure

You raise your hood and thunder –

That is your quintessence of pleasure.

You hurt no end,

Never realise what you do

Never care, never bother…

Sink me to the bottom

Of that deep dark ocean

Plunge me to the depths

Of the darkness unseen

Raise me to the stars

Beyond those ever created

Above those empty spaces

Never reached, nor explored.

Down at the bottom, you give me not a breath to breathe

Far up above, you blind me with the height.

Into the deafening silence, never heard before

Into the shattering cacophony, that surrounds all o’er

You take me and tear me

To a million pieces

And again it’s you, who mends me back

To the whole I am.

Not a teardrop to shed,

Not a smile to pass,

Not a feeling of emotion – sweet or sour

You bar me from everything

You bar me from all

Into another world, I find myself fall…

Falling I am, fallen all over

Into another world, now I’m transmitted

I wake from my death

For you've revisited.
