Obsession

Kathryn Amaka

Knock Knock on heaven's door.
Dear God, are you there
It's me again.
On my knees with a confession
My heart's in a grand obsession,
caught in a crush, it's no mistake.
Smitten with him, head over heels,


I get weak in the knees,
can't seem to breathe.
My emotions, I can't curtail
His eyes, they make me swoon
I try to act casual, but I'm such a loon

Dear God, am lost in love's sweet embrace
Crushing so hard it hurts
My feelings for him are more than just flirts
I try to hide it, but it's plain to see,
For him, my heart skips a beat
I can't control my racing feet
My palms can't stop being sweaty

He's always on my mind, day and night
I dream of him, with all my might
My heart's pounding, I can't deny
He's the one that makes me feel alive.

Dear God, my heart is a-flutter
I hope you're not too busy to mutter
A prayer for me to be bold
To reveal my feelings, truth be told

I know it's crazy, please forgive
I wish to hear your thoughts
Just a silent whisper
Should I spill or let my emotions sink?
My heart says yes, but my mind does fear,
Rejection, heartbreak, and shedding a tear.

Dear God, lest I forget, he's in a far away land.

    I love the surreptitious references to some pretty cool songs. Another perfect one could be that classic by Smokey,
    HERE I GO AGAIN
    “ my heart said to me , don’t walk head on into misery, hey with your eyes wide open can’t you see, a hurts in store, just like before”
    Anyway, I digress, it’s a real nice piece, I love the varied phrasing and the honesty and the movement toward a concept.

        Speaks of a far away longing, whence the heart feels it belongs, with a musical undertone to it. True love is at the surface of these words. Charmingly woven.
