Obsession

A decade has past since she first spoke his name
The case itself brought instant fame
Swore to her he'd sever all ties
Now she knows he spoke of lies

The lambs are all but silent now
Sleeplessness, an unspoken vow
Of truth staged by ugly words
The lambs fled in countless herds

Evilness is a presence here
Along with wisdom, hope and fear
Fear of love and being loved
Such emotions often snubbed

What lies between them has no name
Born in crisis bred with shame
Objectivity left behind
Lost within her tortured mind

Past distorted future unclear
Sense of longing whenever he's near
By his touch her heart is freed
Or by his blade her fate decreed?

True nature of his feelings not yet known
Their fate already cast in stone
Shall this be her final lesson?
The ultimate end to her maddening obsession
