Release Me

passive love affair

behind a mask you wear

no more weeping soul

release me from the anchor

that restrained
so many untold years

I am no longer yours

to keep

so why do I still weep

your heavy anguish

be stills my heart

no more to bestow

nevertheless a love

that suffocated many moons ago

your words keep me hostage

to your wall

I am bound

I can no longer be
inside your knotted rope

I leave only my finger prints

an outline

of all that have I carried for you
