Obsessions of the Insane

By Methos

It's hard to chronicle
the thoughts that form
within this exhausted
mind of mine

Seems so long ago now
that we held each other
beneath the stars
kissing softly

Now it would seem
that the memories
are all i know
of you

The person within my mind
oddly enough was never
by my side

I've built you up
upon a golden throne
that's not you
as i recall

you weren't the queen
that i've invented
a creature now
somewhat demented

a doppleganger so to speak
changing within my mind
as often as my
emotions decide

No...dearest, your not
the same as once before
not even close to the truth
not anymore

Maybe if you had stayed
i wouldn't have had to
change you the way i did
my queen

All i'd ever known


left


and now i make the rules


The things i despised
twist and turn until
no longer recognized
distorting you till
you have become
everything i wanted
my desire
my one and only
my obsession

haunting me until at last
you dissapear
leaving nothing now

an empty mind

a souless shell

with nothing



but an alluring darkness within

    this is a gem... an uncommon awareness, and yet a resigned impotency... nothing but lies, and yet the truth in this is stark... beautiful and haunting... may we all experience this, and may we never
