Possession --poem

You’ve got me wanting you-
with each turn of phrase,
each sweet thing you say
you’ve got me believing that
you actually care.

Yet the second you scooped
all the substance of
your promises
(and lies)
from my core of faith
in Something Better,
you had me searching
in a chamber of Emptiness
and regrets.

It’s mind-numbing, Love
that Inaction screams at levels that
deafen my heartbeat to a
hollow tone.

You don’t have to act on much other than
your indifference and
you have me Bound-
scraping the walls of
your forsaken Kingdom-
and you have me
wanting you-
morphed into a Memory-
Even more.
