Gurgling murmurs squirm
hurt
bursting and bleeding
I learn.
"So sad, but sexy..."
her whisper slices the silence.
(acid burns to reply)
Now a mute momento
eyes opened
hope
renewed to periscope
I turn.
(The door closes)
Alone, on display.

Different. The end half is intriguing and well penned. From the start being slow - the end has such a strong effect, which brilliant phrasing and imagery.
Thanks for entering,
