When did I become addicted?
When did he become my fix?
When did love turn into obsession?
When did I lose control?
When I awake, thoughts of him
When I drift off, thoughts of him
When I sleep, dreams of him
When did I lose control?
He broke it off
Now withdrawal begins
But I cannot let go
I have become an addict
I crave him everyday
I yearn for a taste of him
I long for a glimpse of him
I cry at the loss of him
I message him daily
I pop by just to see him
now that all control is gone
I fear - I fear - I fear
the label - STALKER -

I've felt this way many times. And I've been on the receiving end too. It is hard when love is unrequited, when you cannot get the object of your desire to feel what you feel. Sometimes you luck out and find someone who has felt the same way as you. But some people never get that chance. What is it that allows some to fall in love and others to always be shut out? Anyway, you do a wonderful job of describing that fear

You should get out a bit more, go down the clubs and get yourself a couple of new fellas. Put it about a bit, girl.

I'm most definately amazed by this. My relationships are nowhere near the acceptable term of normal but I think that this sums up my feelings on a day to day basis. Great job poet!!

I really like this piece and can completely understand. Its a hard place to find, the line between loving and letting go, and loving and not being able to face that final goodbye. I unfortunately have issues with goodbyes even if its the completely right thing to do, but I'm working on it. Great write, thanks for sharing.

nice.
I like this.
I interpreted it as walking that thin line between love & obsession. And then the process of crossing over to obsession & realizing that..but at the same time, you dont care. The stalker label rarely affects those who have lost all control & surrendered. Keep up the work.
