EPIGRAPH
desire's a fire and i am in flames
kindled from dizzying images
of you in my head, crinkled eyes
and freckled cheeks
you're a writer? he had said
you're welcome for the inspiration
hate and love are one in the same
but what about obsession?
one night and i'm already
refreshing, messaging,
worrying, waiting,
wrapped around your finger
that ever so slightly drew
circles on my skin
years and years of mechanically
floating down roads and hallways
a shell of a girl
fast forwarding through
rinse and repeat
until you,
and now i wish i could go back
to the years of naive
fantasies before i was offered
a glimpse of hope from you
before the skin touched skin
which sparked this fixation,
preoccupation,
with a boy who just learned
my last name a few weeks ago
now i'm in the center
of a triangle between
love and hate and
obsession
i guess the choice
is up to you
