the touch

last night he came to me
cold & wrapped in shadow
touched
the mind diseased
slipped unnoticed into
tears unshed
spilled
over to thoughts
unravelling

last night he came to me
silent & cloaked in promises
caressed
the soul tomented
sliced open the heart
that blackened
faltering

last night he came to me
comforting & holding me
closed
eyelids on a world
lost to pain
laying down into
blackness
