naked

You are left naked

In icy wind that stings your skin where once kisses were left

Where once you were covered by thin thrydes but even those have been ripped from your frail, fragile, fraim

This hollowed house whose windows are broken, and rain cracks the hardwood floors

Naked

And cold; muscles constrict to try to find warmth in yourself but there is absolutely nothing

So, look in other places

Soulless, loveless places

Fast and passionate places where it's still your responsibility to make others feel safest

What was once vulnerability is now your stasis

Naked

But these places are far too vacant
