In the quiet shadows of my mind,
A hunger stirs, insatiable and deep,
A fervent pulse, a constant grind,
In waking moments, and in sleep.

Your image haunts my every breath,
A specter of desire, a relentless fire,
Consuming thoughts, a living death,
Each heartbeat sings of my empire.

The world fades, a distant haze,
As I traverse this single path,
My soul ensnared in a fevered craze,
The aftermath, a lover’s wrath.

Obsession’s chains, both sweet and cruel,
Bind me to this endless plight,
A delicate dance, a relentless duel,
Between the shadows and the light.
