Obsession's Edge

it's not his fault

By Luna JordanPublished 5 months ago 1 min read
Obsession's Edge

She’s been

watching

from the shadows,

lurking

in the night.

*

Her eyes

burn

with desire,

ready

to ignite.

*

A twisted

love

that cannot be

tamed,

chasing the darkness,

playing

this deadly game.

*

Whispers from the

silence,

“she’s losing control”.

Every

thought consumes her,

the

mind takes more unsavory

tolls.

*

The girl he

loves

is just in the way,

so

she won’t let anyone

steal

him away.

*

In the darkness,

she

waits for a

sign.

A little push, a little cut,

she’ll

make him hers this

time.

*

At obsession’s edge,

she’s

too close, she will

fall.

Her twisted

heart

beats for him

but

it’s not his

fault.

No short fiction today; I need to get back to focusing on my trilogy and other potential novels, so it may be a few days or so before I finally get another short fiction edited and posted.

As for "new" stuff, like more book and tv reviews, those will take some time, especially the tv ones. But, a few music playlists are on the horizon, as promised. And I may do another "confession" pretty soon, too.

We'll see how things go.

    I am new to your work. This poem is so relatable. Near the end there, did I hear a silent. ' this is all his fault' The other girl standing in the way, but she keeps trying, hoping it would go the other way. But... It's not his fault. Maybe I want it to be his fault lol. Anyways. I saw the word 'confession' it's getting me excited cause... Well ... I am nosey lol. Good look on your future novels, the writing process and all 🤗❤️
