No More

I've captured too many words for you

Grasping them from thin air

To place them on your dry lips

(Your silence is no longer my refuge

And I shall be your author no more)

 

I've swung this axe enough

Trying to break the ice that

You've deemed your shield

(Your ambivalence is no longer my muse

And I shall be your sculptor no more)

 

I've held you too tight

Tried sewing your wounds

And drew back ****** fingers

(Your fear is no longer my life passion

And I shall be your nurse no more)

 

And so, you've humbled me enough

I can now accept defeat

And leave you to your ego

(Your heart is no longer my obsession

And I will be your lover no more.)
