Obsession Is a Hungry Thing
I do not want flowers from you.
Flowers die too honestly.
I want the kind of love that ruins sleep.
The kind that turns a person into a ghost wandering the halls at 3AM
just to check if I am still there.
Not romance.
Not the soft kind people post online.
I mean obsession in its ugliest form.
The kind where jealousy feels like a living animal scratching under the skin.
Where my name becomes a prayer and a curse in the same breath.
Where absence feels so violent
it makes someone sick.
Because real obsession is not beautiful.
It is terrifying.
It watches.
It memorizes.
It notices everything.
The change in my tone.
The strangers I smile at for too long.
The way I pull away when I am angry.
The exact moment my heart begins drifting elsewhere.
An obsessed person sees it all.
And they panic.
That is the truth nobody talks about.
Obsession is built from fear.
Fear of abandonment.
Fear of replacement.
Fear that one day you will wake up
and realize you could survive without them.
So they grip tighter.
Too tight.
Until love stops feeling holy
and starts feeling like being trapped underwater with someone
who refuses to let go even while drowning beside you.
Real obsession does not say
“I love you.”
It says,
“If I lose you, something inside me will rot beyond repair.”
