Sitting on a Broken bed

Laura Whelton

Sitting on a broken bed
Isolation tenfold
Creatures of habit
Bruised by dawns light
Magnified loneliness
Creased tissues of hurt
Bleeding denial
Of another’s device

Warped frozen
Greedy insane
Longing
Drenched by fear.

Who are we to fill
Our pages with pain
Grief like a symbol
Gathered up movements
Of another day
Drunk with indecision
Fraught with callous
Insults
Crying tears
None would spill
The glass is half empty.
