I want to caress you,
I want to possess you,
I never want to let you go.
I want to touch you,
I want to crush you,
I never want to let you go.
I want to hear you crying next to me,
I want to feel you dying next to me,
I never want to let you go.

The poem--true to its title--grips onto that very thing it tries to explain: obsession, with its strange compulsions and destructive short-slightness. Very nicely done.
I love this poem and feel that it needs no explanation. It can be interpreted 1,000 ways. It's up to us as readers. Excellent! JC

"I want to crush you," sort of confused me. Like physically crush or break somebody's heart? Yes, obsession is probably not a bad thing sometimes but love is, for the most part, some sort of obsession =/ I guess I can say I have felt most of these "obsession" feelings although I don't WANT to feel her dying but I will be there when it happens or she will for me. Nice, sharp poem -- only real problem with it, to me, is that it seems pretty cliché of a topic?
Willa Goodheart, honest and hard-working white collar worker finds herself connected to a police investigation for a serial killer; and she hasn't a clue why - that is, until she begins digging.
Revenge is Fun series. Millions of dollars are missing from the Venice Canals HOA and so are the Vice President and Treasurer. Were they kidnapped? Where is the money? Twists galore and a surprise ending with humor along the way.
