Impotent


My dark bleeds silently
Tempered glass impotent
To the seeping black
An intimate shadow
Stealing into your cracks
Your wounded areas
That have never truly healed
Allowing the hurt to slip in
Over and over
Again
Unsuspecting
Flowing through your sheets
Onto Your body
Like a second skin

Your tears rained precious
into my empty heart
And never mind
that your soul was melting clean away
I promised to make it all right
And when you first touched me
I felt my borders melt away
As you became a part of me, my life
Only now
Only now it is my tears
That wet the dark
As they bleed silently
Emptying this barren heart
Shedding my soul
Like a second skin.
