Tempestuous Love

Your callused hands
Caress my hair
Black as night
Entangling our souls

I leave not
This tempestuous bed
Except to drift
Inside my head
Your words fall
As icicles
From a frozen sky

Shattering my hope,
Piercing my soul,
Your empty words
Of Like and Care

I must siphon you
From my veins
To remove your echo
From my soul

I will no longer accept
Your temperate love
I must let you go

Stifling the caged inside
With a gag of shame
And lay you to rest
In the graveyard of my past
