tortured with reluctance

The words inside my tortured heart
keep passion washing blind.
The words you speak from painful parts
stay swabbing me unkind.

Lonely fears have bowed to anger.
As they consume our souls
we pour the kettle long since boiled
and blindly play our roles.

Without each other we are strong,
however not complete.
Why then will not our guarded selves
back down, accept defeat.

Beyond a shadow, it looks plain:
our love, it fills the air
dusting us with gentle kisses
makes sorrow seem unfair.

Craving to comprehend my fears;
they strictly make no sense:
consumed by the love you grant me,
the agony’s intense.

Wishing to be near you just now,
leave yesterdays behind.
Awaken all my tomorrows
in your arms still entwined.
