In the Shower
I felt like the water wasn’t hot enough
To wash me away…
To wash away the memories
The dirt and grime
The tears in my eyes
I felt like I couldn’t scrub hard enough
To wash it down the drain…
To wash away the pain
The lies you told
The feeling of being cold
I felt like I couldn’t stand there long enough
To wash him off me…
To wash away everything
The feelings I have
The love we once had
I felt like I couldn’t get dry enough
To wash away the tears…
To wash away the time
The days I spent with him
The weeks we had spent
I felt like I couldn’t sleep enough
To dream away my reality…
To fall inside of myself
The memories of happiness
The ghost of our last kiss
I felt like I couldn’t bleed enough
To cut you away from me…
To bleed you out
The numbness
The coldness
I felt like I couldn’t breathe
To breathe meant defeat…
To breathe meant you’re gone
The wholeness
The happiness
