She is naked and alone, Everything hurts. Tears slide down her gooseflesh ******* They are cold and unkind. Some catch at the corner of her mouth, And the salt stings. Baptised in pain and misery, She raises her face to the unforgiving light And closes her eyes, they ache and burn. The tears run, then, to a different place But they are still cold, they are still unkind, Everything hurts. She is naked and alone.

Naked and Alone
She is naked and alone, Everything hurts. Tears slide down her gooseflesh ******* They are cold and unkind. Some catch at the corner of her mouth, And the salt stings. Baptised in pain and misery, She raises her face to the unforgiving light And closes her eyes, they ache and burn. The tears run, then, to a different place But they are still cold, they are still unkind, Everything hurts. She is naked and alone.
Poor sad girl, in pain. I don't know who she is, but she came to me in a dream.
