Solace

Uncontrollable, saline 
  emotion bitterly shed
into the sinking depths of despair.
Uncontrollable, shakes
  of a derelict head,
    quantum leap savagery eating away.

Inconsolable, thrust
  of a rapier grief,
goring the nerves that are gradually pared.
Inconsolable, theft,
  circumstantial the thief,
    felonious increments day after day.

Unforgettable, pain
  exponentially grows,
stripping at life 'till the bones are all bared.
Unforgettable, rain
  of the cruellest blows
    that beat up on feelings 'till blackened and blued.

Unforgivable, love
  so devotedly cast,
now shackled in cloisters, alone and uncared.
Unforgivable, needing
  you foremost and last,
    the cure of solace, not black solitude
