Symbolise Vulnerability

Sitting
Blank stare
quenched mind
biting lip
passing time
steam fills room
blurring eyes
empty stomach
empty mind
water hot
bouncing off bruises
tracing scrapes
it stings
door left unlocked
symbolise
vulnerability
a person
walks in
pulls back curtain
stares
at blemishes
a spark  
in eye
hoping for acceptance
this time
water cold
person gone
left the door
open wide
exited with laugh
salt fresh mixed
goosebumps
slowing blood
dampened motivation
to get up
knees hugged
breath held
let out
repeat
mouth stitched shut
by ones
once loved
maybe still
passivity set default
reaches left
turns nob
faucet leaks
stops
stands
walks
drip trail
follows lost
bed interrupts
drenched
shut off light
lays
blank stare
quenched mind
hugging knees
sleep
passing time
door ajar
symbolise
vulnerability
lights flick on
awake
socks soak drips
eyes gleam hope
blemishes too extensive
quickened friction
cloth and carpet
alone
glare through blur
exposed
cold wind
through door open.
one drop falls
adds to
soaked mattress
finds shade
behind eyelids
goosebumps
loneliness steals minutes
silence lullaby
vulnerability a blanket
sleep
passes time
