Obession vs Adoration

Obsession

I can’t tell why I like them

It’s an indescribable need

It’s a burning fire

I fixate on little details

I can tell you everything about them

I don’t want anyone else near them

I know every appearance

I see their latest movie but I don’t remember the plot

I threaten others if they violate their space

But if someone else comes close better to make them feel insecure

Because I feel insecure myself

But they’re insecure right…

I swear they’re winking right at me…

I think I’ll go see them

It’s not like I don’t know where they are…         

Adoration

I love the things you do  

You make me better everyday

Learning more about the best you are,

Helps me discover 

More about the person I want to be

Exploring new avenues of learning,

Expanding my mind

By the breadth of you

No longer needing to hide

The light in you brings out the light in me

I read an article today about celebrity obsession and thought I would do a side by side comparision poem.  The difference between the two, in my mind, one is about how “I feel”, the other is about how the celebrity influences the writer.  Just my little contribution to the debate about Celebrities and obsession.
