Extinguished
I wept
For the first time, I expressed
Puddles coalesced into oceans
Possessed by fury and contempt

Furrowed brows
Eyes shrouded beneath crowded clouds
Eyes down, disavowed
No reason now to be bound

Unshackled, unchained
Insecure, insane
Now you see me this way
But who's to blame?

Four fingers and a thumb
Clenched, holding in the heat of the sun
Kindled by the fire of a once loved one
Now, only numb
