Hour 9: POV Villanelle

Based on the Characters of Killing Eve: 

Does your heart race from love or obsession?
Can hands hold without grip
I wish to know a love that is not possession

I have used violence in every confession
Drawn blood from every kissed lip
Does your heart race from love or obsession?

I have felt the piercing of Cupid’s aggression
The arrow made when tree for love of sun made its own roots rip

I wish to know a love without possession

You are the only one who has ever read my expression
Did not flinch when my palm found your hip
Does your heart race from love or obsession?

I know we fear weakness in such a concession
And still I would let my guard slip
I wish to know a love that is not possession

I ask you only to answer this question
Before the ties between us rip
Does your heart race from love or obsession?
I wish to know a love that is not possession
