Soulmate

My love
I hope
you never
grow tired 
of me

my relentless
demands

echo in the chambers

The walls
thin enough
to be compliant

and yet
strong enough
to keep our secrets

I listen
for your
reassurance
in the black hours
when
all 
I hear
is the dead
silence

Praying
my love 
to feel
you 
again
