Undone

My quiet

Stretches out

Like a web

Of shadow

Words unsaid

Black diamonds

That glitter

On delicate strands

Of moonlight

That shine

Through

Frosted windows

 

I kneel

Naked

Vulnerable

In the shade

Cast of candle flame

I am undone

Brought low

 

I have

No language

To express

Need

No words

To beg

For comfort

Only silent tears

Averted eyes

Aching heart

Weary Head

Clenched fists

To hide

The shaking

 

Have you

Learned me

Enough

To understand

That tonight

You must be

The strong one?
