Unspoken

it should be so easy to complete the sentence
yet tongue knotted in red ribbons
of all that can not be spoken
or will not be uttered

my mind
silenced by the doubt that dwells within
weighted down by heart and reason
callous and roughened by your touch

my heart
a garden path you've trodden upon and into
a house you've torched for vindictive pleasure
and cast adrift on this sea of sorrow

My body
a temple that you desecrated
stripped me bare and left wanting
a false idol you toppled with no second glance

I'm the casualty of your indecision
a by product of not knowing what you want
living only in pockets of here and now
and its never enough to satisfy

You stepped back into the shadows
into unknown places, untouched spaces
where I neither knew nor could follow
taking my heart away

i offered all
yet cannot sway you
to and fro you swing
temperature rises and cools and rises

and cools

and i wait for it to rise again
for that brief moment
where I am enough and everything
and our 'WE' stamps out your fear
and you let go by holding on to me
