Picasso's Blue Nude

Picasso's Blue Nude

How many times

Have I pulled knees to chest
To fight out the pain
And hold myself together
How many times
Have I been the only one
To give myself the hug
I so desperately needed
 
And yet in silent witness
I watch your bare back
Sorrow filled curves
Fade into the darkness
Of this night
How simply
How nakedly
Honestly
You portray
My own feelings
For the world to see
