limerence

its 2am and she is watching me

i sleep naked in my bed 

while she combs through my metaphors 

and hoovers above my head

all of this attention 

from a girl i never met 

i can't call her crazy

without admitting

i've made myself go mad

narcissist live symptomless 

while the rest of us hold 

the emotions they never had

it wasn't enough to rip apart my heart

so she watches me bleed

feeding upon the paranoia 

that consumes my entire being

writing was once my release

now the words she stalks strangles me   

i understand why he hates you

why his mother warned me

of your manipulation 

why his friends cringed at your name

because you will forever play the victim 

of the crimes caused by your own pain 

admire me

desire me 

conspire against me

and i will watch you embarrassed 

not by my own pride

but by the limerence of your obsession

you can't manage to hide
