Tears streaming down the drain...

Tears streaming down the drain

Un-echoed screams

Hand against the shower wall

Heart-numbing solitude

A covered face

That shudders to be touched

Sleepless, weary, pacing

Unreasoned pain

A pillow-smothered sob

The shades and curtains drawn

Oppressive sun

Endless, black-fingered shade

Minutes, weeks pass un-named

Brain-breaking dark

Numb, aching for relief

Gasping the leaden air

Another breath

Another weariness
