Obsession

I used to be so self-assured.
To hurt and pain I seemed innured.
There wasn't anything I could not weather.
I'd always finish what I'd start.
I proudly thought I had my life together,
But now it's coming apart.

It all began as a distraction,
I'd nothing to prove---
But you've turned into an obsession,
And now I can't move.
I can't move
Unless you permit me to move
No matter what I tell my mind;
And so I live
Like an abandoned toy in the closet
Waiting for you to wind.
But when I feel your touch,
That magical touch,
It fills me with such joy.
It's all at once a marvelous obsession,
This obsession I'm feeling right now.
If there's an easier way to love you,
Then you must tell me how.
