Time Stands Still

The cell doesn’t tell me the time so I wait, praying for numb-heavy hearts, splintered shards of the mind

This is a very aching and vulnerable kimo poem.. Sigh, when the numb-heavy hearts result in turmoil & the fragile soul gets sliced in shards.. Incessantly bruised over time.. A poignant write dear Kim, I could feel this..
