And you melt me like wax
Into a statue of need
Molded by the intensity of those eyes

For my bones weren't built to endure
The sprains and the broken
The lunacy of my psychosis
Is something I cannot explain

And you cut me like blade
Into a monument of pain
Slit to reveal a barren land

For my senses aren't quick to wed
The difference between love and apathy
The fervor that is my lonely
Is something I cannot restrain

And you choke me like noose
In a room ever so empty
Decorated by walls of fable

For brother folly and insane
Meet sister obsess and possess
The wildfire that is my mad heart
Is something I cannot contain

Welcome back, I see that you came back after a decade! That's a good thing.

Your poem shows complexity. It is well written and the title fits perfectly.
