Possession

Disclaimer:

I do not own the song Possession by Sarah McLachlan. Some of the words and phrases used here in are her property. I have posted the song lyric at the end so you can see them they were after all the inspiration for this short ditty.

I see you in the park, on the tube, in the malls, at school. Everywhere I go I see you. You're in my dreams and silly fairytales. I can't sleep for the want of you. Your lips so fair haunt my every waking moment. I stop in the road for no other reason than the faint whiff of your scent on the hot summer air. I see you in the classroom with your friends. I want to be there with you. I want to taste your breath on my lips and catch your smiles to my breast. I'm never truly alive except in your presence. I'm sure you've heard it all before. I see those girls who hang on your arm. I would be the one to hold you close whisper sweet nothings in your ear. Kiss you softly. My body aches to know your touch and I won't be denied. And when I scream your name in the still of the night as my body quakes in ecstasy, I know you hear my cry. They say there is more to this life and I'm still young. Ha. In your eyes I've seen a lifetime there is no more to see.

Listen as the wind blows from across the great divide
Voices trapped in yearning; memories trapped in time
The night is my companion and solitude my guide
Would I spend forever here and not be satisfied?

And I would be the one
To hold you down
Kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
And after I'd wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes, dear

Through this world I've stumbled so many times betrayed
Trying to find an honest word; to find the truth enslaved

Oh, you speak to me in riddles and you speak to me in rhymes
My body aches to breathe your breath; your words keep me alive

And I would be the one
To hold you down
Kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
And after I'd wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes, dear

Into this night I wander. It's morning that I dread
Another day of knowing the path I fear to tread
Oh, into the sea of waking dreams I follow without pride
'Cause nothing stands between us here and I won't be denied

And I would be the one
To hold you down
Kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
And after I'd wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes...
