Obsession

This is a poem I wrote earlier for a thread in The Coffee Shop.  It took me about 20-30 minutes to write.  The contest was that you had a write anything that was no more or no less than 150 words and had to contain the following words:

• Report
• Subject
• Monopoly
• Discipline
• Remedy

So this is what I came up with...

Discipline, no…she knew of none when he was near

Oh, but save for the moments when she slept

She never stopped thinking of him

She never stopped fantasizing

What a monopoly her mind had made

Twisted thoughts and clandestine facade

Caught within the reaches of her mind

Caught with nothing to remedy her angry desire

She stared and he looked away

She watched him with prying eyes

Oblivious to her fascination and what it detained

He walked through the library unaware

Unaware of her; unaware of the danger

She was a mere student and he was her subject

She studied his every move

From the precise length of his stride

To the way he wet his lips before he spoke

She stowed the anguish in her mind; a report of sorts

A relation of lost hope and distorted love

The painful anecdote of her loneliness

A tale of her obsession
