Is this what it's like to be obsessed,
With my chest still wet from your tears and your breath?
Your face is the only thing I recollect
Your relationship's failing and I watched you cry
Your beauty eclipsing the red in your eyes
Under a starless sky, I swear you did shine
With your skin pressed to mine
You shook as I held you and pulled on my shirt
So I pulled you in closer, embracing your hurt
You buried your face in my neck
And I focused my eyes on the dirt
Our friends asked if we kissed and, believe me, I wanted to
But I couldn't help feeling guilty for wanting you
For you are not mine to want, and I wish I was in his shoes
But the leather is torn
And my feet are too small
I can't make them fit
And I'm not fit for loving you
Is this what it's like to be obsessed?
I caught you as you fell, now I'm catching my breath
I wish this was something that I could forget
For your relationship's fixed, and I swore I wouldn't cry
But your beauty's imprinted on the lids of my eyes
And when I press them closed, I swear you still stilling
I just wish that your light was still mine

This is an old one from a couple of years ago but, while the details are different, the emotion in it has become pretty relevant again so I revisited it and fell in love with it again so here ya go
