Chasms

It opens for you-
     I have opened for you
Again and again slit
Tettering between made love and maddening guilt
With a slight touch you pierce
Beaming and cutting through me bit by bit
Something staggering on the paranormal between us exists
Something that can't be defined, categorized or resembling anything ever spoken of or lived
Though somehow it's daggered and chipped
By our many tears and trysts
Though heart bears a hunger
The mind divided and split
Opening over and over again-
     I've opened over and over again
Disasterously my love for you is spent
Shrouded in mystery and an unmoving emptiness
Meanwhile the flies have swarmed
Latching onto the darkness overgrown
Suffering in silence-
     Opening myself for you no more.

"Meanwhile the flies have swarmed Latching onto the darkness overgrown" There is something deep and dynamic about the way you describe the love that is not only shrouded in emptiness but is also"spent" as well.
