Obsessions

Every Wednesday as the sky became dark

Moon beams glowed across the park

On the corner I could see her face

Wearing a maroon dress edged in lace

Green, yellow, red neon lights flashed across her silky skin

Revealing a sadness loneliness of her face so thin

Why why would she stand at the same place on the corner

With a grief stricken look as if she was a mourner

Could she have a broken heart, be waiting for a lover

Hoping for his return or could it be the loss of another

Once I walked across the street

To satisfy my curiosity hoping to meet

This soleful beauty with blue eyes and black hair

I smiled attempted a hello

She looked straight through me as if I was not there

Wait her energy is different this night

I see a slight smile, her blue eyes are so bright

Suddenly she bolts across the street towards the park

Loud honk of a car, bang her lifeless body in the dark

Who was she, what was her name

She haunted my every thought each day was the same

Why wouldn't she speak to me

I could have been a friend

Her lonely heart I so wanted to mend

Every Wednesday night as the sky becomes dark

The moonbeams glowed across the park

I would stand on the corner to see if I could feel

Her spirit her loneliness

Encapsulating me in the night so still

I had no answers no peace

to escape this dark well

Could I have saved her loved her,

These thoughts are hell

In my mind I am in a tunnel

Ah I see the light

I bolt across the street

A horn blows, Bang

Dead silence

My life losing it's fight

As my life seeps out of my body

I see it was an illusion

I could not have saved her

Was my conclusion

Her demon had become mine

My answer came to late

Sounds of the street fading

This was my fate

On the corner I could see her face

Standing so lonely

In a maroon dress edged with lace

She whispered in my ear

Obsessions

That is the answer to your questions

It took us to a place we didn't mean to go

It imprisoned us

Now you know
