crumpled in on herself

[arashrad]

Hi

I have 2 questions from you.


...and it was like she’d fallen down a hole and crumpled in on herself, her bleeding heart torn open for all to see.

First what crumpled in on herself means?

and next what open for all to see means?

Thanks

Please quote the source of that text.

It is from a novel and th full paragraph is:

It takes June a half hour to finally fall back asleep, loaded up on whatever drugs a Colonies nurse injected into her arm. She’d been sobbing over her brother again, and it was like she’d fallen down a hole and crumpled in on herself, her bleeding heart torn open for all to see.

I imagine that June was in what in what is called the fetal position. She was rolled up into a ball. The part about her heart is, of course, not meant literally.
