...back broken...
...divinely kneeling...
...mending reflections...
...feeling the delusion...
...waging a war...
...fuelled by resentment...
...old wounds distance me...
...soft tissue...
...neatly hidden...
...from mothering...
☟
...withdrawing criticism...
...that’s all it takes...
...without shame...
...of surrender...
...open the door...
...feel the longing...
...take the brave step...
...with you unafraid...
...all my intricate defences...
...would be taken away...

An experiment: pick a book, open it at a random page, close your eyes and see where your finger lands. Repeat steps two through four until the novelty wears off. Shuffle and compose. Omit the unintelligible. ;)
