Shattered Tears

Water blends her tears, with streams of remembrances


Enfolded in coolness of a ceramic basin, warming from the water draped upon her


Exposed emotion, raw angst, stripped bare of lightness, curled along the floor


The hardened tile becomes her bed, heaviness surrounds


Her bed of regrets, reinforced by a past, toughened to allow a future


No one hears the cries of sorrow, pouring down the drain


Entering her cesspool of shadows, downhearted from life


Washing the sins, the scars remain, desires are without fail


Soaked hair suffocating her words, gurgling to breath, gasping for air


Nails breaking skin, releasing her pain, rocking back and forth to eternally soothe
