searching for a storm
to re-live the madness.
in this darkened silence,
my insecurity and your empty coldness,
stab slowly at us.

all the pain turned me ugly.
your hurts cutting you up.
i've become your tormentor:
reminding you of tears,
once filling our embraces.

you reject any kind of love.
i bundle my hope into tears:
letting them fall to nothing,
like saved memories spilling off my cheeks
left to linger in the corners of our hearts.
