Crying in the Shower
Wake up
Smack the alarm
Stagger to the bathroom
Flick on the light
Pull out a towel
Get in the shower
Tune the water to a loud sprinkling pulse
Get that perfect temperature
Standing under the stream
The never ending heat
The comfort gives me time to think
I can't sing
I feel so depressed
The water gives me a hug
That I need desperately
One tear rolls down my cheek
Was it a tear?
Maybe it was just the shower....
Torrential downpour in the forecast
I sob
Quietly at first
Then heaving breaths
No one can hear me
Over the ordinary sounds of the water running
The ache grows
My stomach hurts
I can't even feel the shower anymore
Does anyone know
Does anyone care
I think about you
Your face when you're worried
About what?
About me
Maybe you care enough
But who would want to?
I feel like
The river from my tired eyes
Will never stop
But a drought will always come
After the flood
My tears drop
They drip like a leaky faucet
I'm slowing down
They splatter
On the pearl white tub
Beneath my feet
I am a flower
So fragile
Don't pull the petals
Off
Don't let them drop
I make myself into stone
I don't feel
I push your beautiful face away
Where can I go
When I need to escape you
Escape the world
Escape everything
That holds me down
The shower
Where no one can hear me cry
Where no one can see me down
Where I can pull myself away
Where I can keep it from everyone else
Where I can confine my thoughts
To the water
That never tells
