Helpless
mind opens
ears listen
heart shivers
body aches
trembles
helpless
eyes flood
blurring vision
left
with tears
touching air
lids closing
heavy thick drops
roll down
runaway
past a sniffling nose
over a quivering lip
onto a pouting lip
they press together
tasting salt sadness
lids open excess tears
freely flow back
stinging eyes
nose strains to breathe
helpless
hands wet
clenching thighs
feet firmly flat
resting on hardwood
helpless
hearts worlds apart
tongues speaking
through fingers
only words to comfort
bodies trapped alone
souls confined inside
helpless
