Take time in morning to breathe in ***** fumes, Enough to assess damage and open new bottles, Escape from collection of bruises marking paths Along bodies and pull teeth from ****** lips with Aching lungs. Push through it with music blasting in ears, Rose petals littered with thorns and hate fueled words. Shaking knees to breathe life to memories of night. Sleeping forms scattered throughout, curled on floor Here and there. Blood trails to burst noses and yet another break up. Shivers running under skin, Commence the search for clothes that is more than Someone else’s jacket and knickers dangerously close To ripping. Piece together fractured moments Leaving jagged edges on show, mental notes To write each one down later, and display to all Your state of mind.

Sleeping forms scattered throughout, curled on floor Here and there. Blood trails to burst noses and yet another break up.
