Obsessive love can be destructive--for both the object and the person whose life has become consumed with love. Falling in love with someone can often feel like the death of the self... when you put someone else's happiness and wants before your own, especially. If we are loved in return our feelings and actions are validated, and in that validation we can often learn to love ourselves too.
But when we love someone who doesn't return it... it can turn into an obsession. She wants to kill the object of her love and wants to be killed by them in return. It's an unhealthy relationship and she knows it, but it's not stopping her from throwing herself into it without concern for her own survival.
