Obsession
January 2011 (9th Grade)
For Kaitlyn

She's peering through the underbrush.
Watching very closely.
Listening to his conversations,
and being kind of nosy.
In her room, stands her cardboard cut out.
Her dog barks at it with fright.
To her,
oh, what a heavenly sight.
Word for word,
she knows all the songs he wrote.
She attempts to win concert tickets
from the radio.
His photograph glued upon her notebook,
his poster above her bed.
He danced his way into her heart
and sang his way into her head.
His name printed upon her hand,
written with his signature pen.
His face upon her shirt,
Oh, when will this obsession end?
Camp outs at the stadium,
in the front at his show.
Then she goes home to her doll that sings,
"Baby, baby, baby, ohhh."
