Obsession

And another...


Obsession

Can you never let go?
Of love, of memories,
Of a bitter parting?

Can you never let go?
Must your very being
Pervade every action of mine?

Can you never let go?
Why always whisper in my ears
That no-one shall ever be you?

Can you never let go?
Will you remind me every day
What treasure I have lost?

Can you never let go?
My tears are a never-ending stream,
Does that bring you joy?

Can you never let go?
You lurk in every shadowy corner,
Do you not long for light?

Can you never let go?
Need you always, always knock
And disappear before I open the door?

’Tis been ages, Cathy,
Your grave is but a mossy mound.
Let go. Never let go.
