#possessive
You are the enchantment wrapped in my bones, consuming my veins, my soul— a curse that lies within the bottom of me, for as long as time breathes. It is madness, like a disease rising in my flame, like a soul that aches, yet refuses to surrender itself. For as long as I remember, my love for you remains untouched, trapped where time cannot reach— It is almost an obsession, an obsession I was never meant to escape. I drown in it, I rot in it, only to be forever etched into me. I cannot tell if I love it, or if it consumes me, but I choose to let it devour me entirely. You asked me, “Why me?” Your tempestuous, shattering voice calls me, unrelenting. The question burns within me— Why I am so bound to you, Why your shadow lives within me, Why I am so selfish for you. All of those things within you, and yet I ache to carve your initials into my flesh.

obsession
To love, with the hopes that it does not mark as another lesson we often embrace love too tightly, hurting love, suffocating it, drowning it with your fear of losing love and without you realizing, love grew exhausted from needing all the strength, it has just to step out and breathe. We think so much about how bad it is if love leaves yet we didn't allowed love to live without confronting a fear of a future hopefully that will never happen.

My baby, my baby, Where are you, my baby? You’re all I need, want, You’re the gem of my heart, Tell me my baby, Where have you gone? Where have you been? Who have you seen? Without me all over, Oh my baby, Please come home, Don’t leave me, Oh my baby, I need you here by my side, Protected and loved, Oh my baby just come home, Save this poor woman's heart.

My Baby
Dear Eating Disorder, you crept in quietly a whisper I mistook for guidance You promised control wrapped it in discipline told me you were here to make me “better” But you carved my days into numbers and guilt turned every bite into a battlefield You stole my reflection traded it for fear and called that “love” and I believed you I followed every rule you whispered let you lead me even when it hurt you turned my days into equation's meals into math I could never solve and fear that if I slipped I’d get the whole problem wrong I trusted you I let you lead me believe your lies think you were protecting me But you were really breaking me The mirror shattered into pieces every time I looked each fragment reflecting fear shame, and a version of me I didn’t recognize my mind a storm of whispers, my thoughts screaming at me every time I saw how “ugly” I was like I could never be enough like I was too much and not enough all at once Dear Eating Disorder, you broke me in ways I still don’t know how to fix Maybe one day I’ll heal but for now the shards of that broken mirror still sting where they touched me reminders of the hurt you carved into my view of myself.

Dear eating disorder,
OH THE SUN, DO YOU HEAR ME? I LOVE YOU. Basked in your light, you are the love of my life. Can’t help wishing you are all mine. Let the green die, the blue freeze As long as you are all mine. But I can’t dim your shine like that, so it’s fine; don’t need you locked inside to know your heart is still all mine.

If I am to be saved, how do you plan to do it? And what are you expecting in return? If I am to be saved, where is your horse? You plan to save me with just pretty words? If I am to be saved, what are you saving me from? I don’t really need your protection- I learned long ago how to run. So if I am to be saved, while you sit on your savior’s throne, am I meant to be the trophy? Wild, untamed, now quiet in your home?

I Need Saved?
Each time I think of you It is as if                I call down the moon                To frame your silhouette                Embraced by another It is as if                The four winds                Shall burn us both                With the jealously                Born from my nature It is as if                Each composition of                Scented dialogue                Withheld from my eyes                Became a letter                Of indiscretion                               Unleashed upon the world

Jealousy
It takes to much to live Collected from the start 'Till the wick can no longer be lit All I have left to give Is this mangled mess of a heart And a broken spirit Passive or aggressive Lifes and bodies fall apart Death is all we inherit And death is possessive No retort Take the hit and grin and bear it ©2024

~•§•~ Grin & Bear It ~•§•~
I dug a trench to keep you close growing the hedges with rope and hose I filled a moat to keep you in a buoy, no boat if you tried to swim I planted flowers bushes, no tree lest you could climb and found you free I paved a road there you cut a path far from the garden away from my arms now I’m building a bridge across a sad sea if you ever decide to come back to me.

I am a possessive creature I am held together by passion Fear me when I am mad Love me when I am motivated I am a jealous creature I will love you to the moon and back Break me and I will be vengeful Kiss me but touch no other Not one stroke Not one glance I want my name tattooed on your heart Because yours is burned in my brain I am a possessive creature but so are you -J.R

Possessive and Jealous I Am
My love is wrong in the eyes of the sane to them it seems my love is irrational possessive, obsessive chained to my wrists I suppose it's my fault I suppose it's all their's I think I'm forgetting the normal thoughts and feelings a person is to have Clinging onto the familiar and what was thrown at me when I was younger. It scares some away and brings others closer

When I Love
noun | the way his hand rested on the small of her back. the curve of her hip pressed against his side. the soft click of a lock, keeping her in his gilded cage. it was nice at first, the way he spoke about her as a belonging. perhaps it was her own loneliness that made her crave his. the allure of fixing him was too enticing to deny, so she dove headfirst, recklessly swimming against his nature. but the explosion of a thrown wine glass on the wall behind her when she needed to leave, needed to get out, made her hate the naive girl she once was. and still she loved the way he pressed gentle kisses on her tear stained cheeks, apologizing and begging her to stay. and, despite herself, she knows she will.

possession
We march for freedom We march for independence From a lot of things But At the end of the day All we want is For someone to call us theirs.

The Irony
I smell your dark intent in the air, Whether it's in my mind, I don't even care, Before you speak, Let me make you aware, She is my girl and you don't even dare. I can rip you apart, like a wild bear. I'm with her, you don't need to care. You might be good, but, it's very rare. She is my girl and you don't even stare.

Don't stare!
You looked so majestic sitting there Delicate, divine, and bare Vulnerable but I didn't care How could I? You, with your brown eyes and your short brown hair Resting on a broken chair Defeated but I didn't care I had to lie Over and over and over again to get you Over and over and over again, I let you down Over and over and you were over it, you'd even given up your crown You should have known better when I said that I'd be there for you You should have known better than to believe when I said that I would help you through I'll tell you that I'm sorry but by now you should know the truth Helping someone other than myself is something [that] I just can't do I saw my chance and I acted fast Things this pure (you see) they never last At least they never have in my past I bled you dry I didn't want you to leave the shadow I cast With your love so deep and your heart so vast You'd be happier in a light you could bask That's why Over and over and over again I hurt you Over and over and over again to keep you down Over and over and you were over it, you couldn't even reach your crown You should have known better when I said that I'd be there for you You should have known better than to believe when I said that I'd be there for you I'll tell you that I'm sorry but by now you should know the truth Helping someone other than myself is something [that] I just can't do I can't be good to you

Good To You
The sky today is like the meal you just served Brittle and distant in some sections but overall palatable Why don't we ever eat out? you ask Because things abruptly fall when we least expect Like prices and temperatures or your basic need of me If we go somewhere we might meet other people And that could only end badly for the both of us

Belief System of a Fearmonger
Im scared to leave you even in my dreams Seems like I'm possessive Cause You're impressive Every night i close my eyes  I want you in front of me My heart bleeds until you're here with me I'm getting insecure  I need those thighs to sleep in every night Even God has no right  To seperate us  only when there is  A fake love

2019
It all starts with a sentiment of caring And slowly  it becomes your routine. Losing your very conscious as time passes , You go deeper with the same motive that you aren't doing it enough. Feeling proud about your moment Until you find something damp as you step You feel a little gibberish but ignore it because you're busy worrying about them. It all starts making sense when they give a slight repulsive vibe, And you, vaguely blame yourself,   fueling your mind to declare a war with itself, Sleepless nights and hopeless mornings , you just think about why they are being repellent , A text with a couple hours of late replying just creates a Picasso of chaos. Alas you've found out that the thorn of insecurity has pricked you Yet you're impatient and stubborn to accept it , but not for long Cause you longed to be their priority just like they are yours Hitting you hard with every second passing by and you find yourself disgusted and clingy Troublesome and panicked to find a way out but it just hurts like alcohol on a bullet wound , stingy

Over-possessive
"I never knew it was toxic, until I tasted freedom with love. I never knew what it was like to be loved, without being encaged. But now I can take my decisions, I can roam free. I can be loved and be my own person. I chose what I do today and forever. It was love before, it is love now. But now he loves me into independence. I discover more about myself. I find myself healing.The stifling breath, and aching sobs in my chest are slowly fading. It was love before but the bad outweighed the good. Too weak and in love to leave. But I am not a possession, I am my own person." - excerpt from a monologue of breaking free from a possessive relationship

Prose: Breaking Free From A Possessive Relationship
your eyes belong to my undeniable stare that has infinite meanings and thousand thoughts your lips belong to my unbounded lust that flows out as a lovable kiss your chest belongs to my irresistible touch that tattoos my name and marks my reign your ears belong to my words and nibbles from our night bed fights under full moon light your hands belong to me to hold I'll want them even when I grow old your shoulders belong to me to lean and I, forever want to be your queen your heart that's beating that's mine only mine no... I would never share for this whole world, I swear.

you belong to me
Somedays I feel like I’m Huddled in a corner staring wide-eyed At the world passing by watching me through Plexiglass walls and spotlights blaring down all hours of the day and night all I have ever wanted was to be natural An apostle of instinct Fighting back using the laws of claw, and gnashing fangs But instead I’m met with cattle prods, and steel chains I’ve learned that the world just doesn’t play fair I’ve learned that love and loss come with the same price tag You lose parts of yourself either way So many people want to take others out of their habitat And put them on display I have spent far too many days in other people’s possession and now I am finally breaking free I just need Someone That will hold me loosely Someone Who will let me live free Someone Who can love me For being wild
