Someone told me if I can't have you
No one can
Another told me if you love it
Set it free
There is a fair line between love and obsession
Love can cause pain to both like wrapping a cut in cloth
It bleeds and leeches you try as slow as a sloth
It brings you joy
Maybe I should stop playing coy
Obsession it causes pain to one or to both
Hurts so much that you deprive the other
Like a malnourished calf drinking from and utter
Maybe i should just close the shutters
Because if these were the two emotions I felt
I would lash myself with a belt
Love brings Pain
Pain brings Hate
And hate creates a coldhearted individual
But obsession brings pain
And that pain brings pleasure for one person
And if constantly done
Like how a clock strikes one
The spent time
Would make pain a crime
