Her breath pliable,
she crouched down in that corner,
(the one that didn’t fit like a glove.)
Her movements were whispers, soft
and borrowed from someone
she couldn’t remember,
(but they had told her to use them in times such as these.)
The movements abandoned her though,
as she started trembling
the music her mother used to sing to her.

Gosh Vanessa,
โshe crouched down in that corner,โจ(the one that didnโt fit like a glove.)โ
And she survived in the way she knew how, trembling, the song.
I love your style of writing, so beautiful, and unexpected. Love the song ๐๐

Hi!
I’m so glad you like the song, I adore her music. And once again it was the song that inspired me, if I remember rightly, as it was something I wrote last year and reworked it a little.
Thank you for your lovely comments, they mean so much to me. ๐๐

reminds me of e.e cummings with the brackets, a second voice, the one of reason or more madness who knows but this piece is a good one V. so many nuances each time i read it.
