Obsession.

Topics: classic

I will not have roses in my room again,         Nor listen to sonnets of Michael Angelo         To-night nor any night, nor fret my brain         With all the trouble of things that I should know.         I will be as other women - come and go         Careless and free, my own self sure and sane,         As I was once ... then suddenly you were there         With your old power ... roses were everywhere         And I was listening to Michael Angelo.
