I am Obsessed With Your Obsession

Come any closer and my eyes will confess the truth

Lying in my bed
I stay awake at night
Thinking about you
Just you alright.

Your hands around me
Wrapped in an embrace.
Your breath on my neck
I barely control my heart’s pace.

You relish my sweet agony
as I shiver in anticipation.
You wait patiently for the moment
When I let go of my hesitation.

But before I could reach the end
You broke the magic spell.
I was left obsessing with your obsession
When the dream failed to dwell.
