Psycho Love

Roses are red, the ocean is deep,

At two in the morning, I'll touch you in your sleep.

BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!

When love is taken to its most extreme form. Some people seem to get a tad bit too attached to others, allowing their feeling of affection grow larger over time until they fall very deeply in love with someone. When someone is taken over by Psycho Love, they will stop at nothing to win the love of their interest, even going as far as to hold the interest against their will just so the lover can get what they want. Normally, Psycho Love only lasts for a short amount of time, but if the case is severe enough, it can last for weeks, months, or years. The love, having their lover viciously chase them everywhere they go, could lose their mind on some occasions. The intensity of Psycho Love tends to strengthen as time passes, with the patient first exhibiting basic Psycho Love behavior: obsessive observation of their interest, numerous attempts at getting the interest's attention through various messages, and excessive Sweetie-Pie Talking. Should the Psycho Love be actively denied or ignored by the interest, the patient's emotions will elevate and become more dangerous. They may start to become violent in an effort to obtain the victim. At this point, the patient may be driven Completely Insane by their multiple past failures to get their victim to finally become theirs.

The best thing the victim of Psycho Love can do for themselves is not already be engaged to a partner. Discovering they have their heart set on someone else can destroy the patient and implant devastatingly maniacal thoughts in their ruined mind. To claim their interest as their own, the patient may plot to get rid of the rightful partner one way or another. An alternative to endangering the partner's life is threatening to end their own or the victim's. There are instances of going to such extremes being unnecessary since the patient already has the victim in their clutches. Holding the victim in some sort of confinement brings them closer to whatever diabolical plan their captivator has in store. It generates a real sense of danger that demands the victim do what they must to escape. Believing they've won in their struggle to restrain their love, the patient may become controlling or even almost sadistically abusive of the victim's life.
