[hometext] => This poem is written in defense to some very thoughtless and foolish things a friend of mine said to the girl I love. You know who you are. Apparently, I’m the obsessed, smothering, psycho… I know, I’m as shocked as you are! And all this coming from a friend. Kind of makes you think.
“I have no trouble with my enemies. I can take care of my enemies all right. But my damn friends...They're the ones that keep me walking the floor nights!”
- Warren G. Harding -
[bodytext] => I hear you’ve been doing some talking
To the woman that I love
It was about me, no less
I was told you had said,
I’m obsessed?
That I’m getting a bit psycho?
It’s as if I’m smothering her?
Well, what the f**k do you know?
~~~
Let me gain my composure
And we’ll take it from the top.
~~~
First and foremost,
You say:
I’m obsessed.
My response:
D*mn right! You’re correct!
I can admit that,
Obsessed I am.
But that’s what love is,
The obsession of man.
Obsession and love,
One and the same.
But obsession sounds negative,
So we call it a different name.
I understand,
You may not agree.
Then I say, you’ve never known true love.
How it sets your soul free.
When you care enough for someone
To put them before you,
Now that’s love.
But it’s obsession too.
This obsession called love, Comes in many forms.
There’s obsession for your friends,
And self-obsession too,
That for your family,
Or the one who completes you.
And that’s the one I cling to.
Half the worlds obsessed
And you make it a bad thing.
I rejoice in this obsession
And the joy it sometimes brings.
Without this obsession,
What a terrible world this would be.
No man fighting for his wife
Or mother for her family.
At war, would any put down their life
To save that of their comrade?
If not for this obsession
And the love for him they had?
I see nothing wrong with obsession.
Obsessed, everyone should be.
I hope on day you find yourself obsessed.
Then maybe you will agree.
So yes, I am obsessed.
It’s true, this I know.
But this obsession called love,
Doesn’t make me psycho!
~~~
Which brings me to my second point,
Explain to me how I’m psycho.
Is it because I still love her?
Or because I’m trying to let her go?
Am I psycho because of my poetry?
She’s never seen most of it.
And the few she did, you showed her.
The night you started talking s**t!
It’s not as if I’m a stalker.
Or one who will put her in danger.
I sit alone at my computer and write,
Share my thoughts with total strangers.
If that makes me a psycho,
Then so are the other 1500 on this site.
Maybe they should lock us all up.
But then you’d be locked up too, right?
Man! You’ve really p*ss*d me off!
Before you spoke, did you think?
Or do you just babble thoughtlessly,
When you’ve had too much to drink?
At times, both of us, turned to you for support.
And you tried to play both sides of the fence.
But I heard when you told her all this,
She quickly jumped to my defense!
I figured she had, because she knows me.
Better than anyone ever has or will again.
So tell her all the fairytales you want,
Because the truth, I’ll never trust you with again!
~~~
And now on to the smothering.
I laughed so hard at this one, I teared!
Please elaborate for me,
This one I’ve got to hear!
How exactly am I smothering her?
You said it, though I don’t get why.
Is quitting my job smothering her?
Or did I smother her with my goodbye?
You say I’m smothering her.
I don’t see it, how can that be?
I don’t call her, rarely email her,
And work’s the only place she sees me!
So exactly how am I smothering her?
By trying to set myself free?
Three days left at work is smothering?
Or am I smothering her by being absentee?
You really blew my mind with that one!
How many beers did you drink?
It must have been quite a few,
Since you lost the ability to think!
~~~
You’ve topped off one h*ll of a summer!
Only three people left to trust.
No, you’re no longer on the list,
But I’ll tell you who is if I must.
One of them is your sister.
Though she occasionally lets a secret go.
But she doesn’t try to hide it,
She immediately lets me know.
Another’s my best friend Ken.
Always been like a brother to me.
I know whenever I need him,
By my side he’ll be.
The other is the woman I love.
I’ll trust her till my end.
Maybe I can’t with my heart,
But forever as a friend.
Then there’s you, dropped from the list!
You could have been number four.
But you’ve opened your mouth too many times
And now you’ve shut that door!
I still consider you a friend.
Just not one that I can trust.
It may be too late to earn it back,
But I guess you’ll try… if you must.
I realize this poem may anger you,
What ever you do hang on to my secrets you know
You’re well aware what I’m capable of.
Betray me once more and you’ll see psycho!

I was just searching the internet for a place with good poetry...this was the first poem I read here and I have to say....this is by far...THE BEST PIECE OF WORK I have EVER read!!! This is the kind of stuff I look foward to reading. I am an INSTANT FAN of your work! I've been writing what others label 'angry' or 'dark' poetry for over 7yrs now and I have run a site dedicated to my poetry and the poetry of my visitors. I've been impressed over the years by their submissions to me....but I can't recall a time when I was actually blown away by a masterpiece such as this!!!! Thank you for sharing this!!!

| ok i have to say that as of today this is the best poem i have read on here!! i mean it was kinda long and when i first saw it i was thinking that it was gonna be one of those poems that words are just repeated over and over but it wasnt it was really well written, it made sence, and as my english teacher would say it made the reader feel as if (s)he were actually involved in the situation, and i think your freind needs to start thinking before he speaks about things that are none of his business! |

| I understand where you're coming from. But you're only obsession is in the girl you love and the only thing you have to smother her with is your love for her. I find this a good thing. Maybe if the guy I loved had felt the way you do we would've stayed together. Let the embers of your hate fade don't fan the fire. |

| EXCELLENT! I totally agree with you! I don't know you're total position from a living view point. But I must say, it seems that you were just a good, non-psycho guy. *bow* |
