The door is locked

Silence masked by the sound of running water

My vision blurred by the humid steam

And my mind clouded by the heaviest thoughts

Aching in anticipation

The three red lines of sorrow


Minutes felt like hours

The smell of wet steel rushed to my nostrils

Feelings battled logic overcame by reasons

Tears blended in the shower of water drops

My hands steadied

The three red lines of pain


My senses were sharpened

The gravity of the world seemingly disappeared

Heavy weight in my heart was moved to my left forearm

I am now a step closer to understanding your pain

It was not for sorrow

It was for love

The three red lines of love
